[Healeys] Towing a Healey Flat

[Robert Begani]

Hi Jerry:

 

Attached is a  picture of the attachment to the frame I found.  Uses existing frame bolts so I can simply unbolt it and drive around without problems.  Will consider the idea of replacing the bumper with a channel.  As kees just commented the trans and overdrive along with the differential are bathed in oil so I cannot understand why I have to disconnect the drive shaft.  Then again Price reminds me of the one that shifted into gear.

I towed BN2 to Columbus Ohio and back to Dallas/Ft Worth area flat. I replaced front bumper with 3”-4” channel so not to bend bumper. I did disconnect drive shaft so not to damage OD. Better safe than sorrys
