Tow bar help - mnd - 18-02-2013 07:12pm
Hi all,
I've read the info on tow bars in the other sections but I'm looking for anybody who knows where to find a tow bar for a dynamic which ISN'T a Hayden reese. Some of the other solutions from the UK are much less intrusive and look better but I can only find people who supply Haymen. Does anybody else know of other bars you can get in Aus. Ideally anyone with experience fitting something in Melbourne
Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark.
I bought one from PF Jones in the UK.
From memory it was about 430 pound for the bar, plug in electrics & postage. A bit under $650 AU.
It was delivered in 7 days
It is a Westfalia detachable, swan neck type.
ADR rules say in should have a manufacturers name plate & a safety chain connecting point. It has sticker & the safety chain connecting loop.
I remove the swan neck & keep it in the boot next to the spare wheel.
You cant see the bar when not in use.
The blurb says to cut the bumber a little at the bottom, I didnt & the bar fits behind the platic but pushes the bottom lip out & down about 10mm.
You would never spot this unless you were supper keen & I recon I could remove the bar without anyone noticing it was ever fitted.
I fitted it myself in a morning, this was steady takining photo's as I went along.
Look at some of the UK tow bar threads & you'll get the idea.
I can provide hints & photo's, but cant help with fitting if you go this way as I'm in NSW.
Hope this helps
