Simple Question

Hi One & All.

Brother has found an old syncro panel van in a hedge full of scrap car bits/metal.

I've told him it will be OK to tow it using his 'one man towing brace'.

Is that right?

Provided it rolls it is fine to tow it with four wheels on the ground; subject to the usual proviso's:

All four wheels are the same size.

Only need to remove prop shaft if lifting front or rear wheels off the ground.. if all 4 wheels on the ground no problems...

If "spec lift" etc he WILL break something if the propshaft (gearbox to front diff) no matter how short a distance.. (a few feet would be ok, but not even 100 yards...)
