Whitter tow bars were the name I used back in the day, towsure were another company whose products were basically copies of whitter, don't know if either are still going but maybe worth a google

How random, I had (and may still have) a Witter 3 door hatch tow bar, brand new boxed (but bloody old, the fitting instructions look like they were done on a type writer )

I just found my Evo tow bar still in a box in the shed, will go out and have a quick nosey round to see if I still have the Sierra one... think I sold it sadly but you never know your luck!

Just found my old ad for it:

https://passionford.com/forum/ford-r...i-planned.html

It was / is a Watling tow bar. Thought I'd sold it on here, but no evidence of that on my post, and can't find it in my shed

I have one on the back of an XR4x4 that I have been meaning to remove since I got it four weeks ago!

I keep not getting round to it!

Would have to post it to you, but can't get it to you before friday mate.

I have one lying beside my shed. No idea what make and no electrics and can't remember if there is a towball on it. It is heavy but Parcels2Go could, I'm sure, get it to you for Friday. I'm open to offers and can do some pics tomorrow if you can't find one locally.

Found the towball but not the bolts to attach it to the bracket.

The towbar is complete with the brackets but, apart from the two bolts and the spacer tubes to attach the bracket to the chassis legs, you will need new nuts and bolts. (And some paint if you care how it looks!)

Open to offers on this - I had kept it in case I ever wanted to tow with mine, but I just don't see that happening.

It weighs 24kg and, provided I can undo the two uprights, I reckon a next-day delivery will be about Ł15.
