Hi Tony

There are several companies in the UK that make the 'A' frames and fit them to most small car, the kit fitted is about £900 (not much good to yourself) but I bought mine on ebay Spain for £250 and made the brackets myself.
It works on an overun hitch connected to quick release cable which pulls the brake pedal down.
Because of the way an 'A' frame is connected ridged to the front bumper it is not possiable to reverse more than a few feet before the axels go in different directions.
The transmission lever is left in neutral but I am intending to fit free wheeling hubs to the front & blanking plates to the rear half shafts for long journeys to same axel wear.

Hope this was of interest, Ian
