I've seen several kinds of hitches on the TR4/6. It's pretty simple to put a
bracket between the two frame rails. Some also tie into the cross bar at the
spare tire hold down bolt.
I saw a Mercedes convertible with a hang glider. It had a trailer hitch front
and rear with T shaped supports at each end of the car holding the hanglider
parts horizontally about 5 feet above the ground. If you intend to put the
top up and down, that will probably be the determining factor for the height.
If you have a roll bar, you could use it as the front support for shorter
things and a vertical "T" coming up from a hitch to support the back.
