Towbar

Yes, yes, I know this is going to be like the work of the anti Christ for most of you, but I've decided to go back to karting (it was all the talk on here about racing!), and instead of using a van this time, I was going to get a trailer.

I'm looking for the sort that doesn't have to have the bumper cut out, and if possible can be removed (I don't want people thinking I am a caravaner!).

If not can anyone suggest where I may be able to pick one up?

Ta in advance.

Three avenues, Rimmer Bros, ebay and Towsure or Towequipe. A detachable will be more costly but agree it would look better. My Calibra had one and I took this off when not required and the sockets were behind the valance.

Ebay and Towsure might be of the fixed neck design, Rimmer Bros may have the one you need. Towequipe have a detachable version.

Bonus!

Brilliant, thanks for that. One towbar ordered.

Checked out Rimmer Brothers and they wanted over £300 plus VAT and Carriage - ouch!
