Hi
I have been following the conversation with interest as I recently got a solid bar for towing when I realised that my wife had not had a misspent youth driving cars and tractors around fields and farms and would not have acquired the skills needed to tow with a rope. My intention was to attach with a simple D shackle on the axle when required.
I would much prefer an A rig like David’s but thought it would need some form of attachment to the steering arm but from the pictures it is just clamped to the axle and the car will follow,or am I missing something?
Could you confirm that this arrangement results in the Austin following the tow car without a driver needed, if so I will see about fabricating one as it would be far better than a bar for towing
