  • Thanks for the comment but defiantly not. The top leg went to the heart bolt area

    and the bottom leg went to the middle of a (modified) A frame base bar.

    The bridle design with a bottom leg attached to the pilot came a bit later '(81).

    I can say this with some confidence because I invented it! (:

    Regards

  • It's hard to see but it looks like its actually a bridle that connects one line to the frame and two lines to the harness. That's what I was towing with about 4 or 5 years after this video.
