Hi Patrick,

I don't see attach points on the rear - I have the Jag rear with inboard brakes. As for why I got towed, my engine has a custom Crower cam with a hydraulic roller grind and, of course, hydraulic roller lifters. But, in an effort to keep costs reasonable, my engine builder put in standard Ford rocker arms and they just weren't up to the task with the heavier valve springs. So, one of the rocker arm shafts broke. No other damage and I've had the rocker arms replaced with much stronger Harland Sharp roller rockers. They sure are pretty - it's a shame to hide them under valve covers. Anyway, I'm back on the road.

Kevin
