By towbar I assume you mean the fitting for towing a trailer...

See the photos of I one that I have laying about. The brackets (back, sort of triangular, my finger is on one in the last photo) were used on the cars that were exported. These tied the cars down on the ships coming over. Did you guys get those in the UK?

Thus for this one you would need to modify the center section of the rear bumper (or I can include this one) with a couple of holes. No drilling holes in the body of the car.

Let me know your thoughts...

PM sent.

Chris

I do have some of that type about I think.

Uk tow balls are 50mm as where US ones are 2" so the tow ball would need changing

I thought those brackets were just for mounting the centre bar as the bolts in the bumper bracket also go through the ones on the mount you are pointing to.
