Towing issues...


Recommended Posts

Spotted a beautiful frogeye at the garage next door 

Recently restored to an incredibly high standard but sprung a petrol leak when the owner tried to start it so he towed it to the garage using the front bumper :blink:

Bonnet now catches when opening and it's got a finger width gap on one side. The right side of the chassis sits prouder by about 5mm and the bumper bolt has stretched the chassis out of whack around the hole 

What a shame!

It’s wasted on driver/passenger comfort to the heater not performance cold air to engine.

i think a factory heater option. ?

Oh, yes, Hamish. What a pity. Could be repurposed I guess.

You can have both. Mirror the cold air feed to the carbs. 
 

I'm surprised that careful towing caused such damage to affect the chassis leg.  Sounds like snatch jerk towing method. :(
