Default Will this work? What would you do?

I removed the front of my car when I fitted the SWB nose. I mean, if I crash it probably won't be head on will it?

What I hadn't thought of was breaking down and needing towing. At the moment this is either me standing up and holding the tow rope or a truck winching me up while I stand on the wire to stop it crushing the radiator. To get to the photo situation I drove about a mile on the back of the truck after being winched up while stood on the wire about two feet in front of the car to get enough leverage to stop the wire cutting the rad!

I was thinking of bolting a steel bar between the original bumper points as a tow point. The only thing I have suitable is a J Beam left spare from some building work we had done.

I know it will add weight to the front of the car but structurally do you think the bumper mounts are a safe point to pull a car from?
