Mine is a commercial Watling bar.  I forgot I didn't refit the main bar after I took the engine out so taking pics was easy.  The main bar bolts to the right hand main suspension arm pivot bolt.  No maximum weights quoted and I wouldn't want to tow much with mine....

Thanks Keith
I haven't decided which way to go yet, either fit tow bar to the Bis or works van

It is to tow my 1993 700cc 64HP  140Kg ----------------------------------  Jet Ski

 Not sure if it`s any help, but the one that was fitted to our air cooled Polski looks like this.
 It`s a slightly different design to the one above, so might give you some more ideas.
