Rezlo, I tow my 1200 and 1400 bakkie around to races with a A Frame, it is a dream to tow the Datsuns. In your case it could be more difficult as you do not want to remove anything. But what I would suggest is remove the front bumper brackets. Use some decent 40 x 8 or 40 x 10 flat iron and make some new brackets that fastens to the original bumper bracket holes, with 12mm holes in the front to bolt the aframe to, add another piece of say 3-4mm on the inside of the engine bay with 10 or 12mm nuts welded on for added clamping force. Add a piece of angle or square tubing between the tabs to remove sideways movement.

At destination remove the new aframe bracket and replace original bumper.

Never never lock or even remove the key from the ignition.

I'll be at my bakkie on Wednesday, if you are interested, I can provide you with detail images and measurements.
