Following a protracted discussion on Alko breakaway cable attachment directly to the towbar (current best practice) or to the towball (on older towbars) we learned that a stronger caribina was required for direct towbar connection. During the discussion we learned that, as a result, orders for the direct fixing cable were increased. We also learned that the direct fixing point should be within 10cm of the tow ball centre. However, Alko's direct fixing cable is the same length as the tow ball loop type, which means that it'll possibly sag onto the road, making it necessary to shorten it - How should this be achieved? Have the CC advised Alko of this anomaly in their product?
