Which Surf do they fit then?

[Granville]

Just asked him the same question, if it fits mine then will have a ride over and get one on Tuesday.

[Vagrant No2]

It does give a 'or best offer option' he might get stuck with a few spare ones.

Seem's very cheap!! I'm after a tow bar and very tempted, have you had an answer yet as to which gen they fit? (dont want to bombard him with the same question)

I went and got one yesterday. Was a bit of a bugger to fit, but went on in the end. Had to drill a couple of holes in the spare wheel carrier (underneath) as there were no holes for the bracket as my spare is on the back door.

There is also a bracket welded on the box section that I had to grind off as it fouled up on the rear bumper (see photo).

still not bad for £40

Got any pics on the truck so can see how much clearance you got for off road'n... Guess you could leave the extension bit off as well....Cheers John

Is it a sturdy peice of kit Granville? its difficult to tell from the pics, ie box and bracket wall thickness, would you trust a caravan on there? My spare is underneath so any probs there? sorry for fireing questions at you but just sent the cheque off this morn for one, Ian

With the tow bar fitted (and extension taken off) it comes 4” below the rear bumper at the lowest point (photo with the tape measure). The box section comes about 1” below the back of the bumper.

The tow bar has a plate on it saying SWL 2500 Kg if that helps.
