[Mgs] Flat towing

[Charley & Peggy Robinson]

  I towed my '69 B from TX to  NH and back with all 4 down and the 
driveshaft connected.  That was when it had no overdrive.  Haven't towed 
it since I put the o'drive tranny in.   I'd figured to disconnect the 
driveshaft if I towed it again.  Interesting, for that reason, to see 
the exchange between Paul & Barney about towing an o'drive equipped B.

About towing from the bumper:  I'm not sure that's such a hot idea 
because the bumper is awfully thin metal, unless the GT bumper is 
heavier gauge than the roadster's.
I had a local welding shop make up a 3" angle-iron "bumper" that bolted 
to the B's bumper brackets and bolted my universal towbar's brackets 
onto that.  Was real handy too; I could disconnect the car  from the 
towbar by pulling two pins at the brackets.  It looked pretty good on 
the car too, once I painted it black. :-)    I still have that hardware 
if you want a pic.
