It works on an overun hitch connected to quick release cable which pulls the brake pedal down.
Because of the way an 'A' frame is connected ridged to the front bumper it is not possiable to reverse more than a few feet before the axels go in different directions.
The transmission lever is left in neutral but I am intending to fit free wheeling hubs to the front & blanking plates to the rear half shafts for long journeys to same axel wear.

Hope this was of interest, Ian

Thanks for the update Ian. Surely that is the way to go, I am definately more interested now. I have contacted our Government Transport department and they are sending me all the do's and dont's, so once I know what is required I will know where I stand.

Cheers

Tony
