Towbar difference between early bay and crossover

[1dub]

As above really can anyone tell me the differences underneath an early bay and a crossover?

Pics would be great
Cheers

Crossover has a late 'rear' but has early style bumpers. The bumper and mounting brackets (irons) are one year only. As is any towbar, unless you go for the JK style (yuk!).

Should you need a crossover towbar I have on e for sale here...

However this one is no good if you have a type 4 engine - ask me how I know

Currently trying to make a late towbar fit....

Jk one is pretty much hidden by the bumper so unless you lay down you can't see much apart from the towball mount!!!

Why doesn't it fit with a Type 4 engine? I have a tow bar fitted and have a type 4 engine, there is almost no clearance between the exhaust and the tow bar cross piece ... I do actually wonder if they touch at certain speeds/revs? Do you have similar of different issue?

I fitted a JK towbar on my crossover with a type 4 motor!!!
Small modification with a hammer & it fit no bother!!!

My towbar was nowhere near going on with the type 4 standard exhaust, the towbar is more like a westy/Gadget style, nothing like the JK (much nicer IMHO - just incompatible with type 4 lump )

Hi Some photos of a early bay towbar, as you can see they fit under the rear chassis members to the rear of the engine mounting, and the bumper fits onto the brackets on the towbar




hope this helps
