Default tow straps

Looking at fitting front and rear tow straps to my classic wagon and was looking for ideas on where to run the front one as I will have the front mount on soon and will be lossing the near side front fog and will be fitting a square front numberplate. If you have any pics i would be greatfull.

Cheers
Iain

Did you secure it with a D/U bolt?
