I tried making a pair of those a few years ago. I didn't have any 
kind of CAD program at the time, but I did have some used bushings 
from a dead beam.

The ones I made LOOK terrific, but they don't actually work. 
Everything about them was just a tad too big to slip thru the 
bushings when tilted. These were not hardened; they were just thick 
enough, about 3/8", that they're not going to bend. 

Just another project that needs revisiting....
