I was never happy with the convoluted towbars so I made my own. The loads are all straight line and it offers a lot of protection to the engine in the event of a rear end shunt. There are pictures in the Photos section in Miscellaneous, Towbar 1, 2 & 3.

I made mine many years ago and it cost three times that (*) but well worth it because it did not involve adding bits to existing bits. Mine replaces the original bumper mounting brackets entirely. The original bumper mounting holes are replicated in the new towbar. From memory, mine has a minimum shear strength of around ten tonnes.

*(It is also gal dipped. I provided holes in the transverse tube so that the molten gal filled the interior on immersion and drained on withdrawal.)

Re: Tow bar
I know one thing for sure Bruce, it would cost you close to that in materials to make it. The big question is how much load can it take and how much do you want to pull? You could make him an offer. Greg E
