If it's got the Rebel kit the neatest option I've seen is a letter box slit cut into where the tongue sticks out, if you use the standard Ford towpack.

The other option is a custom setup with a gooseneck that goes underneath the bar (which is also possible).

Ask Bluedriver on here for some pics of his old Meteorite AUIII XR8 - his setup was the letter box slit.
