A colleague described a towbar he had built (and used) for a B.  It
involved a bar with holes at each end that apparently attached to the
wishbone pivot.  The front nut was removed, the bar added, and the nut
replaced.

This seems like a relatively easy solution to flat towing a B
(notwithstanding the issue, and controversy, of disconnecting the
driveshaft).  It wouldn't be too difficult to fabricate or to install.

In fact, it sounds too easy.  In particular, is the connection to the
towed B robust enough for pulling and, more importantly, stopping?
Would this be suitable for longer (over 100 miles) distances?

Any experience with a towbar arrangement such as this?  Any other
suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
