Default Towing bracket plans needed ?


"doc" wrote in message

I recently bought a small (4' x 3') unbraked secondhand trailer, and
until this week my Volvo was used to tow it. I Now have an Astra and
need to weld up a Tow bar with towing ball. The sort that is mostly
hidden bolted underneath the boot of the vehicle, with only the towing
hitch ball on view at the back. Is there anywhere i can get plans for
the dimensions of metal needed to make up a towing bracket for this
vehicle ?

There does not seem to be any set plan for these as they are obviously
dependant on the makeup of the rear of each different make of auto.

thanks

A mate of mine wanted to make a towbar, so he ordered one from a mail order
catalogue, measured it all up and sent it back.
