Folks, the question here was how do you attach tow ropes or straps to the car to tow it up onto a flat bed or other mode of transport. Are your faux jackup points strong enough to hook a rope or wire to? some of them are not. I have a tow bar/tongue I can put on mine, its ugly but works. However I don't have a conventional front end. I have an old Aussie Torana front end that happened to have a hole right in the middle....I had a long steel plate cut out with a small leg welded on one end that catches the back of the front cross member, a hole drilled for a 5/8" grade 8 bolt that goes through the crossmember and a hole drilled in the front big enough to put in a heavy duty clevis to attach the rope. It hangs out even with the front most point of the car. While thin and black, seldom noticed. Have towed car slowly with this for over 5 miles without a scatch. While this means it can only be towed from the front, I'm sure there are heaps of other ways to pull or tow. Where are your attachement points?
