Hi,
We have one very similar to the one advertised in the eBay link above its made by the same people and is a braked A frame complete with the pull bar and cables etc, after reading the results i am seriously thinking of putting on there unless i receive a reasonable offer from elsewhere

Braunston,
I would be very interested in the A frame but a few questions first...
What car do you tow with it? as i mentioned i need to tow a corsa on it and being a girl i dont really understand all of this...
And how much would you want for it?
Thanks

Hi Freaky :-)
All A frames are universal and will fit almost anything, The problem bit is what needs fitting to your Corsa to fix the A frame to, all these bits are normally made as one off's and req welding to the corsa, there may be some that bolt on, but not very many, welding will almost alway,s come into the equation, even a bolt on one may require the odd bracket welding to the chassis, and some neat cutting of the front bumper for the tow eyes to poke through
see pic for an Idea of how they fit, (the eye's are welded to the chassis) pull the big pin and the A frame comes off the car

Hi Geo
Personalities, previous comments and everything else put to one side - I don't really see what is so wrong with the above statement.
If someone can get a brand new A frame and get it fitted - all for under £500 - surely that has to be slightly better value than getting a second-hand one with an unknown history - for £410 plus the cost of adapting and fitting, doesn't it?
Having said that - I still cannot see where the £500 frame is coming from - perhaps a mistake has been made somewhere?

You need to read between the the lines Dick, the wording used in both posts referance to not being truthfull winking eye smiles and the chosen Avetar, and only 2 posts made to date
tells me it is someones pathetic attempt to bait the member concerned
I would buy Cherokee7 a new A frame, if he goes face to face and repeats his comments

Hi Geo
You know, someone once told me that I am too stupid to be dis-honest - I think I have proved it once again - I simply didn't see that which you have recently pointed out.
I still don't think that Jim or Bryan should design a 'Richard' head smiley, though
