Towbar

[tomallen_2003]

Hi all

Could anybody please explain or show me where to fit a tow ball onto my roadster please.

Also thanks to the people who replied to my earlier post. I wish to fit the tyre onto the boot and after looking at the pictures the boot is recessed for the spare tyre. Has anybody done it on a regular boot before or does it stress the fibreglass to much.

Thanks Tom

Re: Towbar

Hi Tom, the Marlin towball was welded to the rear bumper as a factory option

I had a bolt through one on my roadster with suitably made spacer to match curvature of rear 'bumper'. Towed my sailing dinghy with no problems.
