I did a bit of searching and found a thread about fitting a towbar to a coupe, it was from 2014, so I thought a new thread appropriate. One of the obstacles to me selling my 131 is that it has a tow bar, and my coupe doesn't. I don't tow anything particularly large or heavy, usually just the trailer to pick up stuff from the hardware store that won't fit in a car. I've found this site, https://www.rameder.eu/towbars/towbars/?cnid=527b66a392c3f29bb64684883ac7af1d&actcontrol=alist, there's no chance I'd find anything locally. Does anyone know of another source for a tow bar to fit a coupe?

Cheers,

Mick.

Mick, you may have to go to a specialist towbar guy in Hobart and have one fabricated as this may be cheaper than bringing one in from UK/Europe.

You may be right, but knowing the local mob, I can't imagine them being much cheaper! Although starting at OZ $600 before freight, I might have to drag out the mig and the angle grinder and see what I can knock up.

And if you lived in Brisbane it would be easier, as I have a couple of mates with "4 posters" in their garages.

Certainly makes fitting a lot easier.

Grigio,

I also own a Fiat Ritmo (Bravo) and couldn't source a towbar locally so went to a few towbar manufacturers to see if they could make one for the car, but no-one would touch it!

Seems that our ADRs get them spooked, so we found a towbar importer in Caboolture (north of Brisbane) who supplied my son with a towbar for his Punto straight from his stock and then we ordered a European towbar for the Ritmo from him as well, which had to come from Poland, but had the wiring kit (including the ECU kit) as well and it all worked out well. Took a few months to get here (Sydney) and cost $648.70 including freight. Look them up on www.towbarsaustralia.com.au

The towbar is supposed to comply with ADRs.

Cheers,

What about this?
