HI all I have been speaking to zippy regarding the front towbars and have done my research on the fabrication of them. My main form of business is fitting towbars on a mobile basis but have experience in engineering as I uesd to work within a welding firm producing catalyitc converters.
Should any body be interested I will be fabricating the first three on saturday one of which is intended for zippy, the bar will be made from good quality steel and to fit my mav so will fit any with the same chassis. The angle of the bar will be set to the ride height of my car which is standard ride height so unless others have been altered will be the same for others. they will come complete with pins and washers with the crush bars welded in so no messing llining them up . Should any body be interested I can produce and get them delivered within UK mainland for £52. I will have pictures of the first batch on saturdaty latest sunday so any interested and wish to see pics via e-mail please contact me with e-mail adresses and I will forward them on. Scott |

hi Scott,
please put me down for one as I'd be very happy if made to Wildbri's design as helped in the creation of the download. bw Richard.

I just bolted a ball straight to the ARB, and then made a strengthening plate to go behind.
On our Morocco trips I just carry a 7 foot length of box section with a hitch fitted to each end just in case we need towing back to Spain |

Thats a good plan but I know for a fact the front bumper on my mav would not hold up like yours

Hi those who e-mailed we might be a bit behind schedule as still waiting for the boilts to be delivered but they are well worth waiting for if its the right kit.

I'm assuming these would get through an MoT and not be viewed as ancilliary leg-breakers?

based on fact that are quick release do not need need to be on truck unless intending to shunt a trailer, certainly will be off at test time other than receiver that is well behind bumper line just visible under apron. Also replied Scott, kit looking good, will look better still between my truck and my 'van.

I've got a "Wildbri original" fitted and it is the mutts bits.
I'm interested in the 2x2 end caps though, where can we get them form? |
