Hello all,
I need to pull a 1972 mini onto a trailer using the trailer mounted winch. Is there a particular section of the rear subframe that a chain or flat strap may wrap around to use as an anchor point to hook onto?
Any advice from someone who has done this without incident welcomed.

I note that Robert asks about a rear subframe mount.....

If your intending to tow said trailer then you need to load the Mini front first. Having the load biased behind the trailer wheels is an invitation to interesting road dynamics.... BTDT :shock:

Cheers, Ian

you can thread a flat strap through the vertical "webs" in the rear subframe where the rubber cones/hydro bags are
