Default AU Wagon Towbar

Hi all,

I'm searching for a H/duty tow bar for the wagon. I know a BA will fit but will one from a EF/EL ?? or maybe even EA/EB ??

Cheers,

Why not just buy one to suit an AU? Most towbar places will sell you a Hayman reece 2300kg one for around $400 or so fitted.

Got up to go to the loo, and couldn't get back to sleep, mind spinning like a turbo with all the end of school year stuff teachers must attend to!

So instead of just lying in bed, I get up, and do some work until all the tasks are started on and ordered. Then, I have a quick squizzy at the forum for good measure, and voila, back to sleep!

When a towbar was fitted to my AUI Wagon (previous owner got it fitted when the purchased it) all they did was cut a little slot from the bumper to allow a long trailer "nose" to sit there if need be when it's attatched to the car. The slot is hinged to so it just closes when it's not needed.
