tow bar wiring - quick removal

[AxlFoley]

I have been doing a bit of thinking about tow-bar wiring recently, due to the tow-bar being in the way during engine removal, I would like to be able to remove it quickly, but the wiring would be a pain, so after a bit of research I found this;

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/7-Pins-IP68-Waterproof-Grade-Electrical-Connector-Plug-Socket-Black-/121343212422?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1c409e7b86" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;


its a water proof 7 pin plug that looks like it could be an ideal way of quickly disconnecting the tow-bar wiring for quick removal, has anyone used one or anything similar?

Thanks

Mark

That's the sort of thing I am looking for.

I think I am going to give it a go.

Great idea will use one on mine when the time comes to fit the tow bar
I love the ideas you get off this Forum

Thanks Vinvan

Or just use a seven pin trailer socket and plug, you can buy the ends at a camping shop.

That's the first thing that came to mind for me too simple, you know where the wires go...

Wouldn't that be a bit bulky though?

Might be, depends where you stow it! How big is the comparison you have found?

Just under 10cm long, I'm not sure of the diameter, but I would guess it's significantly less than a standard trailer socket
