[SEL] cart handle design

[Steve Royster]

Hi Marv, I don't think the material is as important as the ability to lock 
the steering axle straight for safe loading and unloading. I make my carts 
with a provision to hook a winch strap to the rear axle or frame and load 
backwards and unload forwards with a pin inserted in the pivot table of the 
steering.  Steve
