GRJ, I'm guessing it's not necessary to have a good ground connection between the engine and tender that you favor fiberglass. Would this be correct?

That would be correct, and a loose drawbar isn't going to give you a solid connection either. If you want a connection, run a wire.

I would probably make it out of 1/16" fiberglass sheet, I keep some around for this kind of stuff. It's super strong, and pretty easy to whack into whatever shape you need. Obviously, making it from brass will work as well.
Source for these boards? You use the same stuff for your smoke unit and pickup roller mounting?

Garolite Micarta Phenolic G10FR4 Sheet .063" (1/16") Thick x 12" x 12", 3 Pcs, eBay: 111001839155 is one source.
