Hi All,
By just looking at this picture can anybody say for definite whether I will be able to install a tow bar?
First of all with out any body work and if so who or where please.
The exhaust is a vintage speed type. Any help appreciated.



Thanks

:D :D :D
 
I have the same exhaust as you and am running a Gadget Tow bar with no issues - see this thread

Some pics of Gadget and I installing it with the old exhaust fitted - no modifications or cutting required to the body or bar as it mounts to the chassis holes that are already there







And then with my VS fitted



 
Cheers for that Stu.
MMMMMMMMMMMMM more money :lol: :lol:

Just read the topic DOH!!
 
As far as I know he does still knock them out although you are more likely to get hold of him on bookface
 
I will be putting my Towbar up for sale soon (its a Gadget one same as Stu's pictured) if your interested?
Its a year old and I have the same zorst setup as you so will fit perfectly! 8)

I've got a 'Gadget towbar' fitted to mine and had to modify it slightly to fit around the vintage speed exhaust as otherwise the side bracket banged on the exhaust, just a bit of relieving on the side bracket was needed I'll try and find the pictures.

Out of interest I fitted one of the towbars from Bus OK recently with the removeable hitch and have to say it went on really well and is TUV approved, I'll be fitting more of those in the future, works out at about £300 for the bar and hitch but worked really well.
 
Mine's the busok one. I had this one installed because it is tuv certified. It would be difficult to pass the belgian MOT without this certificate.
