Re: Type 3 Trailer hitch?

[Greg Merritt <gregm@umich.edu>]

	I have one on my '71!!!  I know, I know, fat lot of good that does
you...

	Used it to tow my Beetle from L.A. to Phoenix in the middle of the
summer. :)  About 400 miles, temps over 105F.  (A year or two later I
noticed that the hitch has a 1,000lb limit.  Ah, the things I did in my
youth.;)

	Now the poor bumper bracket mount on one side of the car has rusted
clean off.  I've asked my wife to pull over & retrieve the bumper w/ hitch
(if it's safe) if the other side goes while she's driving & the whole mess
falls off...   )-;  <sniff>
