Has anyone tried towing a split window beetle with an a-frame like the ones that VW heritage sell ?

I need to tow my beetle to college so I can weld some new rear bumper mounts in. I've just tried one of the 'universal' a-frames and found that the beam is too high up within the bodywork so the spare wheel well stops the tow hitch lifting up much more than 9" above the ground.

Thanks.

Jon.

Has the beetle been lowered? If so & It's got an adjustable beam, raise it up until you get the welding done & the car back to your place, then lower it again. My '58's been lowered & the hitch just about sits on the towing ball.

Easy enought o tow but as Rob says if lowered raise it, last lowered car I towed I raised by 4" and it still rubbed out bottom edge of my a frame.

Also make sure bolt holding catch plate is tightened as they can work loose

I think you're getting this site mixed with the Restowagen site, this is a "stock, coachbuilt & old speed" site :wink:
