For all of my 30+ years caravanning, I've never been able to attach my breakaway cable to the car in the optimum manner, so always had to use one of the lesser alternatives - in most cases, the towbar didn't have a loop specifically for the cable and the cross-member was hidden so couldn't be used instead - or the loop was too small to pass the "dog-clip" though and clip back on itself so had simply to be clipped to the loop.
Until today!
I've just bought a 6mm long D shackle in stainless steel, the pin of which fits through the hole on the towbar for the breakaway cable and is big enough for the "dog-clip" to pass through.
It cost the huge sum of £3.02 including VAT and delivery - but that was for 2 so I also have a spare.
