Default Sherman tow clevis

Gentlemen.... does anyone know if a company makes a metal tow clevis? Or even plastic... if I have to settle for that. Thanks for any help. PP

Even tow cable look like Sherman's.

Much cheaper plastic ones:

The henglong Pershing came with them. I went to alliexpress and bought 2 dozen of them and put them on my late war Sherman’s and my m60 and IDF tanks. They pop off easy if you just clip them on. I’ve lost several driving in my desert training center.
I drilled and pinned a few and then caught one on my Henglong Sherman and it actually broke off the plastic towing lug from the nose....
you can also get the early and mid war Sherman tow shackles from battleground hobbies on his site or shapeways.
