I know you are not dodgy 'Dam. You are almost an engineer and understand metal fatigue, bending forces and shit like that.
Your thread reminded me I had that pic, I was meaning to post it but forgot.
I'm a little annoyed with the owner of that tow car. The bloke has a history of doing half arsed shit but he always gets away with it. If that was my car, I would either have been pulled over and fined or it would have failed causing a major 'event'.
Yeah, I have a basic understanding though doing my trade in the mining industry, shit was always massively over engineered
Once I designed a tow hitch using 20mm end plates and some 150X6 or 10 shs and some other bits. had about 10 m20 bolts holding the cubt to the machine (had to be removable because it was for transport only)
I don't know where that story was going.
Fun...
... Not.
