    Where is the best place to attach a winch on the front of an A108 so I don't damage anything?
    It has no bumpers at all, I have to have it picked up from the docks this week by a recovery company and don't want them to screw it up as I've waited 2 months for this baby to arrive from the US.
    Hope you can help - many thanks Kevin UK

    The front has tie-down brackets that you can use. DO NOT TIE TO THE CENTER OF THE FRONT AXLE! It will bend. If you must tie the front axle, do it near the spring shackle. NEVER on the bumpers....they are way too flimsy and will bend.WINCHING AN A108?? Pictur11

    All year models don't have tie-downs. But you can always tie it from the front leaf spring bracket to pull forward and the rear axle itself to pull backward.
