Pics as promised. Maybe video later. The only connection to the Fiat is a vertical stop that rests in front of the spring. A chain goes behind the spring and is ratcheted up tightly. Five minutes to set up and one minute to take off.

How bloody helpful! Thank you so much for that. Makes complete sense now. I imagined the front wheels would be off the floor.

Great vid Always nice to see a fiat 500 on film, even if it's being towed!

This forum is ace!

Pleasure!
Daft thing is I hardly used it when restoring and now the car doesn't really need it.
I might use it ovef Xmas on a visit to family in Preston.

Hope these photos upload OK, never tried before, if not I will try again. The bracket I mentioned previously is the bar under the bumper that the A frame connects to, the brakes work via a cable connected to the fiat brake pedal (works very well), and the fiat rear lights work as a trailer lights would. hope this makes things a bit clearer.
