Vince, Jim, et all, please DO NOT respond to this thread.

Looking for a used bra to be used only for towing. Visual is not important, only functional. Prefer if it were some what resistant to rock thrown up by my truck tires. I have mild flares on the front, but I don't think that affects the fit?

Tracking a few on E-bay but with low expections. Prefer a sure deal.

Here we have a lot of gravel on our roads. I've found that bras offer some protection but not a lot. What about doing what most of the guys here with boats do? They make a fairing out of a couple of sheets of plywood (a bit V shaped) and attach it to the Y part of the trailer tongue just in front of the boat (in your case speedy) and then cover the front with carpet. You need the carpet cause if you just use the plywood or something with no "give" the stones will bounce back and nail the rear of the tow vehicle.

This method will also eliminate any rubbing of the bra on your cars paint too. You could probably do this for less than the cost of a bra.
Brian - I like your thinking! Actually I had just such a device sketched up, but it seemed like a lot of work, requiring some pretty sophisticated bracing considering the expected 65 - 70 MPH speeds. Simple and strong isn't always obvious. The idea of carpeting sounds good. If I end up going with this idea, I'll definitely do that. Thanks!

Also looking at some home-made killer mud-flaps for the truck. After careful observation of commercial trucks on the freeway, it seems the trick is to keep them from "flying" at speed.
