Tow rope for M38A1 CDN 1953
Hi Fellows.
I wanted to know how long the tow rope should be for my Jeep as well how large the loops should be?
I have been told that the length of the rope including the loops at each end is 3 times the length of the vehicle...? Sound correct? That's a lot of rope? almost 45 feet. And that the loops are approx 1 foot long?
I have the hemp rope in a spool and it is almost 1 inch dia rope so It'll work and look alright as well.
I figure I actually have used a rope for towing recently so I wanted to have the correct style so I can use it if need be.
That being said I'll do my own braiding etc jus wanted to know the dimensions and how it was stored for the Canadian military. I know the US had the wrap around the front bumper...Was ours was figure eight from frame rail to frame rail?
Thanks!
Casey
