Towing a Shell

Guys I need to tow a pulsar tomorrow night... Theres no engine or box in it, but obviously the prop shaft at the front hangs loose, whats the best way of me securing the prop so I can tow it? As it will still spin once back wheels are turning & don't want it bouncing of the ground?

take prop off.
trailer best way for car & drivers license these days.

Yep im trying to get a low loader but struggling... everyone wants £50 & its only going 4 miles  

So was going to jut tow it on a fixed bar 

The prop shaft rests on the ARB and won't hit the road - if the ARB is still in place. I pushed mine 100yds down the road to a mates garage a few years ago but I still don't think would be a good idea to tow it.

Nope scrap this idea lol, front drive shafts are still in the hubs... & think they need to be in place to hold hub together... Sorted a low loader now so all is good

It'll take about 5 mins to disconnect the prop
If it's four miles and you go slow can't really see a reason not to tow it

Heres the shell, It will be up for sale within the next few days as a rolling shell if anyone is interested, wheels will not come on the car unless extra is paid, it will have steelys on it!

Car has just had touch ups in the body shop, so its a clean shell, Rear arches are only just starting to go but not bad atall. Ill post this up in "for sale" section in the next few days

Good you've got it sorted. But I've never left the front drive shafts in....

I know it's sorted now but if you disconnect the prop at the at the first coupling it will just spin in the bearing and the first section will just rest on the arb.

For future reference.

If its just been in the body shop how come the arches wernt done at the same time gaz ?

Not sure mate? Guy just sent it in for a few scratches & bonnet to be sprayed, but has now lost faith :/ Arches arnet that bad ive been told, but ill reveal more tomorrow whe I pick it up & have been over it

I think its easy to lose faith when there is lots to do .... as one jobs turns into 5 alot of the time lol

yeh bottom end went on engine & plan was to rebuild it & tart the shell up, He got the shell done & obv couldn't be arsed rebuilding engine. So ive took it all of his hands to help him out as he's just bought a house aswell so theres another reason his heads not in it!

Engine will be sold as a non runner & other bits will be up for sale aswell once ive sorted threw everything over the weekend

You not tempted to build it yourself gaz ?

Gaz soz to jump straight on but lad is desperate to see my spare black shell i know he will want it as its clean only 2 things i need is clutch n turbo got engine etc whats either like on that car ?

Havent got the cash to build it mate... need to sort mine out lol

Turbo already sold Jonny & Ill have to see if clutch is still on engine as there no box with it... Wont know about the clutch till Saturday mate

Did you nab the box for yourself gaz ...

Nope unfortunately all the car is missing is gearbox & transfer box... The 2 things I need

Bloody typical   

Yep always the case :/

How come you need a transfer box too ithought it was the gearbox that went shit mate ???

Coz its been abit tail happy at low speed on the back end recently before box went.. Had a word with Bob about it & we thing the transferbox could be at fault.

So going to replace both
