I am getiing ready to set the car up for towing.

I ordered a Reese type tow bar from firstchoiceproducts.com.
It arrived fine. It looks just like the one for Priscilla's car, except it
does bot have the Reese name on it. It is all made out of heavy
gauge material, so it looks fine. I cut the chains to make them a
little shorter, and used the short pieces to connect from the bar to
the tow bracket. I also bought some galvanized shackles to
connect ot the chains. The last thing was a 1/4 inch quick
disconnect pin to lock the ball clamp. Total cost is 24.99 for
the bar, 34.99 for shipping, and about 5 for the sahckles.

Next, I ordered a tow bracket from dlee1967 on 914world.com.
I asked for extra eyes at the end to attach chains for the 914.
Cost, $110 shipped. That should be here later this week.

I took off the front valance today in preparation. That was
confusing! On the '75, the rybber bumper covers the top
edge of the valance. I rmoved the two end screws from
each end and though that was all. But, there are more in
the center!
One ofthe iner mounting ears was brokend off, but the other
was still attached. I finally found that the screws go through
into the front trunk, so I was able to take it off. Now I just
need to remove the front torsionbar bolts and attach the
bracket. I hope that is easy! I hope the whole front end
doesn't fall off when I do it!
