Technical Detachable tow bars for Sporting/HGT

[fv43576]

I am struggle to find same Westfalia detachable tow bars that I have fit on my other HGT, I wish I had remove it before send the car to the scrap.
I could not find Westfalia now is discontinue, because of sporting/HGT have rear bumper is about a inch or two lower than the standard which is required special towbar without cut the bumper. Has anyone fit different company name detachable on Sporting/HGT? where can I find one?
Thanks.

mk1 towbar fits mk2?

I am not sure I can't remember what my MK1 chassis look like

 

[Ziggy122]

surly the mk1 chassis is different - otherwise it'd share the same chassis number 188 as the mk2 and mk2b's?

Aint it like the 179?

Eitherway
Swan neck or not - the issue you have is the bar actually needs to sit about 1inch (5cm lower) To stand AND chance of clearing the bumper
And you still have the issue of the electrical socket been to high too

I've smashed mine the other day going up a very Low kerb
And again on a speed bump when i had 5x 25kg bags of ballast in
