I thought they attached to the front suspension arms so the car will pivot around it's normal steering axis.I have a mate in the village who has just towed his GS engined 2cv back from UK on his 'A' frame I will check with him,but I'm sure it's as I say and the whole thing is held with ratchet straps .

What is the easiest way to raise the front suspension. Basically to allow clearance for the A frame. Then I could give it a go to see if it works.

Read it may help

Looking at your pictures you have 2 good tow eyes on your chassis which it attaches. Then it does not move after that so no need to raise the car up. The A frame always stays in place (like a caravan). If there is a steering lock on your car then this will need to be off so front wheels just follow the tow car.... So it says on ECAS site

That kicks my submission into touch

My panic is over.

On first glance I was going to send it back thinking it would never work.

I had to take the numberplate off as this was lower than the pumper and would have bent. But I attached it to the eyelets on the chassis, put a soft pad under the bumper and then the tow just lifts the car up slightly to attach to the Renault.
Took it for a spin and the car follows lovely. The only thing wrong is I have no brake lights on the bloody renault - so the longest part of the job was fault finding this, which I have not got to the bottom of yet.... crappy French cars.... .

Cheers for the moral support, will post a photo later.

Hi
Mine works exactly the same way and it tows superbly no scrubbing of tyres and no problems with suspension height.
Ive towed 2cvs dyanes and even ami 6 estates no problem!!!
Just make sure you have light bar and "En Remorque" sign

I have the magnetic lights that I picked up from a Bourse this past weekend (€25.. bargain) and I have just bought some red letters and a white piece of plastic board to make the "En Remorque" sign as I remembered you mentioning this before.

I have even modified the number plate on the front to "James Bond" style except mine have a couple of wing nuts for easy removal - (number plate is too low for the A frame)

I should be set for next weekend and saved myself €210 in trailer rental.

Quite chuffed now.... specially after the initial panic and what have I wasted my money on

Dont even think about it if you want to keep both cars

bloody dangerous probably not covered by insurance and in the past
i have seen several near accidents with them!!

Hi Pony
Can you clear up what kind of "near accidents" you have seen.
