I use the bottom arms.
Never had a problem towing a Minor.
Is it a Solo-Matic (this is what I have - the 2500 kg version) ?

Errr - these are not legal for home use now. Can only be used by 'Rescue' services to recover broken down cars for repair.

Well - if that's what the Cops say!! I understood they had been 'banned' - although I have still seen some in use, towing small car behind motorhome etc.
