Hi everyone
I'm bringing my barn find home in a few weeks and was wondering if anyone has used a tow bar to pull a B. I am going to weld one up from scratch. I was going to bolt two arms to the frame where the bumper brackets mount on the sides of the frame rails. There will be eyes on the ends of these arms to allow verticle movement. The ball will provide horizontal movement. I'll have safety chains and lights so it will be legal.
Are the four bolts strong enough to pull the car with? I can't see shearing the bolts but the sheet metal frame might tear.
I'm only going about 2 miles from it's current home to my storage spot. Then back and forth about 10 miles from storage to my garage where I can work on it. It is a 67 GT by the way.
Opinions greatly appreciated
Mike
