Carabiner snap on hooks

[DaveA1]

Hi just replaced my breakaway brake safety cable. The new cable is fitted with a carabiner type spring hook, as against the the dog lead type hook.

Will I be able to fix this new hook straight to to fixing point without looping the cable ? Fixing point to small to pass hook through, hook round tow ball now, not ideal.

Hi Dave, I have done this on my current vehicle as it is like yours and the hook wont go through the hole.
A fellow caravanner on here said not to worry, but weather it is right or wrong we shall await the answer.
Cant really see the difference though really.
