cosrec Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I assume if you have to ask you might get someone else to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk3iain Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Worth having a search of previous threads as this subject has been discussed in depth before. If I remember correctly the towed vehicle is classed as a trailer and must have all lights and coupled brakes as well as being within the weight limit for the towing vehicle of course.

Surveyor Posted February 15, 2019 Author Share Posted February 15, 2019 I have asked on the forum re towing under SORN and have had good advice, this is for my information prior to considering buying an A frame towing bar Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk3iain Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) Hi Richard I suppose it would depend on if the tow was to get a casualty to a place of safety or regularly move it around for convenience. The biggest problem if it is a regular tow would be coupled brakes, its too big for over-run brakes so it would have to be adapted or fitted with a braking system. The documents would be "construction and use" maybe? There are far more knowledgeable folk on this forum that could advise on what is required and where to get the info. Hope this has not put the brakes on your enterprise.....;-) Iain PS Sorry for going off subject somewhat. Your question was really about how to fix an A bar to a Landy... Surely there is a Land Rover person who can help! Edited February 15, 2019 by Mk3iain Reading initial post again.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirhc Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Easiest option is put it on a trailer or a beaver tail truck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surveyor Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 The latter was a thought, just looking at logistics and dreaded insurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
