plate as 16mm x 16mm x 1mm (7).

29, 1966.
The tow bar is made of nylon, hence it flexibleness.

What kit does this flexible towbar come from?
I had one, but do not have all the old boxes, and instructions from when I was

Also, Does anyone know what kits had the large spoked wheels?

Thanks
Rob Adema
