  Umm, I looked at Barney's hitch <www.mgaguru.com> to refresh my 
memory, so now I must correct myself.  His hitch bolts to the A's frame, 
which of cuss the B doesn't have.  Sorry guys.

   Now, I did see one arrangement that used steel strap stock mebbe 3/8" 
x 2", that ran forward from the bumper supports, under the gas tank, 
then turned up to bolt to the front of the boot box.  there were holes 
for bolts, drilled thru the straps, the boot sheet metal and thru some 
plates installed inside the boot.  Then there was a piece of square 
tubing welded to the straps,connecting them together under the bumper 
and the hitch plate for the ball was welded to that in the center.

  As I recall, what I described above was sold commercially but went out 
of production because there wasn't much interest in it.

   Cheers,

   CR
