front tow hitch

[Blocky10]

I need to drill and tap a couple in mine, have you located them or do you need a pic?

Haven't looked yet. Located a couple from the photo in the other front hitch thread though.
There's no such thing as too many photos :naughty

He replaced his rear diff and didn't realise he put it in upside down, so now he has 1 forward gear and 5 reverse gears lol.

Nice, had one for my first t2, sold it when got a patrol.

used it once but found the time it took to unhitch, turn round then
hitch again plus fiddly on own to align to front ball, suppose with practice
or some kind of marker.

the slide in part had a bend to save the need for a raiser plate.

I also wondered if receiver tube could reduce ground clearance, perhaps
a better design though with more work needed would come out nearer
number plate.

the view down van was great, I found the offside of car was in line with
outside of caravan. quite tempted again now as have found better way to
get caravan into back yard, but does involve more reversing. am also
experimenting with an old motor mover I picked up.

I have a motor mover fitted but it's quicker to spin the truck round by the time I've wound them in to the tyres, plugged in the isolator and then parked it at snail pace draining the battery. Then remove the isolator and unwind the motor off the tyres :doh
The receiver is up against the tie down loop so doesn't reduce ground clearance.

I saw a motor mover while I was away last week that you wound in on a button:thumb2. But then he started to leave site without removing it
