Hi Everyone,

Is there a towing eye or towing point on the Ford Pop 103E? I need to winch my car onto a trailer and am not sure if there is a specific point you're supposed to attach the winch straps to.

Hope someone can advise

Cheers
drdean

Put a strap around the front axle beam will work best I think. There's no towing eye as such, just a sturdy axle and chassis.

If you put a strap round the centre of the axle you risk bending it, better to put a strap round each end where the tierods attach.
