Whats your problem people find something better to do instead of bit..ing on here if you want to reply to my post send me a message and i will happily give you an answer!
Just giving you the opportunity to buy something nice and not to expensive, and yes it is an Ebay advert hence why i posted it in the ''EBAY BITS AND PIECES'' forum!! If you dont want to see my post then spend your day looking at something else, i do not appreciate sarcastic comments, some people clearly have nothing better to do.
Also whats wrong with polish quality may i add? those of you that buy most of your parts from ''POLISH allegro''........ enough said!!
 
Regards Captain Tow Bar

 There is nothing wrong with Polish quality as long as not advertised as Abarth and doesn`t suggest it`s an Italian product. I just think it`s misleading and pretty sure you not allowed to use a trade mark product name on something it`s not.
 The tow bar is actually not a bad price and I don`t mind people making few quid.

Will the tow bar fit the Bis? There are two arms that bolt onto the bumper screws. Where does the two extending arms go?

Hear Hear...

Anyone buying those would be able to file at least a "Product not as described" with eBay or PayPal.

I think it is an aircooled, you can get Bis ones from here:

I have one and it is great.

They do an aircooled as well but they are both expensive......

Brilliant! There is a towbar for a Bis. Do you have a picture of the towbar on your Bis? Unfortunately, Towequipe does not have a photo of the kit. Does it have an electric socket?

I want to attach /screw on one of those universal bike racks from Halfords.

It looks kinda odd. It does not bolt on to the bumper. Where does the other end bolt on to? Where does it bolt on to the chassis? I was expecting something similar in shape to the aircooled. I look forward to seeing it installed.

There is a metal support inside the bumper you get another bracket which replaces this, the other end bots directly to the trailing arm.

Here is the bracket:

Looks great!!! Did you have to make new holes underneath the rear crossmember to fit the metal support bracket? Would it be possible to post the installation instructions? I want to see whether I can install it myself.

Post by: ciaoflyer on March 12, 2012, 07:54:02 PM
No new hole required you just use what is already there, I still have the fitting instructions so will try and find and post!

Just finished building my trailer so will post pics of that soon! ;D ;D
