(Comes back after checking the illustration on Page 6)

Ignoring for the time being that I cannot for the life of me determine where the uppermost chain on the right connects in the drawing (it just seems to vanish into mysterious lines there) I'd like to ask if there is a suitable place at the front of the van where a cable can be connected. The drawing shows a tow bar.

With a handy four-foot 4x4 which I am certain everyone carries.
