Have you ever tried to improvise based on 360 ZK ? Its left side (convex plate fitting Klauenkupplung looks easy to make, as well as the main connection). But how to make the opposite side fitting Bügelkupplung, based again on 360 ZK ? Have you ever tried to make it ? If so, a drawing or an image would be much appreciated. Thanks
