Default Looking for a Yellow Tow Release Handle

I have a friend who is restoring a Marske Pioneer glider and is looking for a
yellow tow release handle. Does anyone know where we can purchase one?

Randy,

If the handle is "T" shaped, then it'd be easy to make out of yellow plastic rod such as: http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=28605

If it's a round ball style, then maybe someting like this?: http://www.playaboule.com/perfetta_5...QaQ godsAsAcQ

One idea would be the T handles that skiers used to carry their
boots. I have seen these used for release handles. Like

Of course this would be easy enough to make yourself. Then paint it
yellow.
