Frustratingly Thule don't seem to fit the version they do for the mk2 45 will fit.
This is even more frustrating as the nearside exhaust mount is welded to the nearside towbar bracket.
Gonna mess in my shed instead.

Yesterday I happened to see the back of my car from a distance and thought that the exhausts sit at the same height on the mk2 and the mk1 so why doesn't the tow bar.
Today I was at home as we were having smart meters fitted so I dragged the tow bar out of the shed and 3 hours it was on the car, would have been quicker if I hadn't been also dealing with "meter man".
I had to loosely fit every bolt and gradually go round tightening them up as the rear end isn't as square as it should be. And the tow hitch was a b1tch to get on as it is against the bottom of the bumper so will need a bit of fettling to be perfect.
However I can go and get me an engine for the F.
