I've got one now, Vindi had one and I've picked it up. It was a little crusty so I've sanded it down and given it some hammerite and it'll be on the car soon.

Haven't got a towball yet or an electrics kit, and I need to think of a way to make the electrics kit stealth, I'm thinking I might put the rear number plate on a hinge. (yes, the towbar isn't exactly stealth, but I have a plan for that...)

I made one myself. Really easy, and cost about £20 in scrap metal from local fabricator. Plus tow ball and electrics. £60 all-in?

I was only towing a littler erde trailer with track wheels, fuel and tools in so nothing massive.

Does the job nicely.

Some angle to replace the towhooks, then bar welded across, and some square tube up at aa angle like this:

Tada!
