This is the std fitting Greg. I opted for the adjustable as have 3 trailers & tin tent, they all sit at different heights so that gives me options.



Is this the removable option one?

That sounds like a more efficient plan and defers the cost. Thumbs Up

Just Tow came back to me when I ordered the detachable tow bar and a variable height plate to state that they are not compatible.

They checked with Towtrust who also said "a drop plate would also not be an approved setup, the towbar flange plate has the two variable setting for the vehicle already and lowing the towball would put over pressure on the pivot points of the mounting bolts."

Now what to do? Maybe stick with the OEM afterall? Rolling Eyes

HELP!! HELP!! HELP!!

I've gone and done it. Was starting to fit this towbar and I only went and lost one of the chassis inserts inside the chassis rail Big Cry

No amount of fishing can get it out again so i was wondering, if anyone bought one of these for fitting to a D3, do you still have the unused inserts that you're willing to let go for a few beer tokens ?

Removable fell out whilst towing allowing a twin axle Ifor to demolish a telegraph pole. Luckily it was on a B road & was unladen, I was on my way to collect a 1/2 tonne mower.
Still have the hitch & the locking pin is clearly in the 'lock' position.


Do you Think this was due to the drop plate? Thinking of raising the tow ball night in the same way?
