TORSO HOOKS

I do not know who made these steel torso hooks. If someone knows, I would be grateful if they would tell me so that I can give the proper credit here.

In any event, these hooks are marvelous. The only detail they lacked was the delicate rounding of the corners. I achieved the rounding by sanding by hand with emery paper.

Look at the torso hook in the following photograph of the original robot to see the nice rounding of the corners.
One detail I will probably avoid reproducing is the array of six screws that hold down the torso hook in the original robot. It looks a bit messy to me.
