What you got to tow mate??
I've got a certain Chateau ;)

Personally I have a lot more faith in Bluebird than JK - but I havnt actually seen either fitted
I like the Bluebird 4 bike carrier that fits to the towbar as well

would that be the 'creche' Chateau then?!
I may have aquired a new renovation project in the shape of a Rapido :lol:

The bike carriers look good, but think they are cheaper direct from Pendle... ;)

Nice one!! Does it need much work(pictures would be nice! ;) )
Yeah I've taken over the crèche!
Ta for the heads up from pendle. :D
 
Bit of a re-fit inside and one wall, but I think it's gonna turn into a full on resto!
Will start a build thread when I get going on it (or I'm allowed to! :msn4: )

Hi,

I had a towbar for my 1970 westy which came from Watling Towbars which I think is very similar to the JK one, very solid construction which bolts to the chasis rails, the thing I didn't like was the way its fits is the piece that fits to the rear valence. You remove the 4 bolts on the rear valence and there is a piece of angle iron that bolts across the full length of the valence, which is then visible above the bumber.
I am also after a Gadget one, but alas no response from PM's and e-mails, I wait in hope!!

I was wondering where all the bits went...not really ideal.
Fingers crossed Dean does some more.
Cheers

Sorry guys....looks like I've managed to sort one out so no longer need one.
Good luck in getting one sorted
Cheers
