These were the specs:
Two long legs 1000 long x 25mm x 25 mm x 5mm angle iron
Legs 800mm wide
Two parallel sections at ball side 100mm long and the other ends
bend parallel with vehicle c/line ( 80mm )

Mods, maybe we could either make the above link a sticky, or move the pics to resource?

Um, careful with that A frame, it might/will damage the front of the car. It will need to be hitched lower than the front suspention in order to not hit the spare wheel well, and i dont know of a lot of ferrari's, lambo's and lotus' with tow bars. You rather need a step down type A frame that has a kink in it so that it can be hooked under the nose and still be put onto a not super car/slammed to the ground golf's tow bar.

The A frame shown is fine for beach buggys but not for beetles!!! unless you make up brackets to replace the bumper mount brackets, then you can easily hook up to those, but rather the front suspension.

Yea, agree. The link has lekker frame that you mention.

What type of fixings are best to connect to the torsion bars? I was also thinking of making it a stepdown type.

The link is awesome - THANKS to all !!!
