Fitting a front ball-hitch / tow-bar Sportrak

Forum: 

Can anyone advise me on fitting a front ball-hitch to my Sportrak as I feel one might be handy for launching my boat. Has anyone done this before? thanks Masha, Canterbury, Kent

Haven't done it to a Sporti,

Haven't done it to a Sporti, but have to several other 4x4's. I'm only in Dover if you want me to look and give you some sugestions?

There is one up here in Stoke

There is one up here in Stoke with a front towball fitted - by utter chance it turned up in the supermarket car park about 18 months ago while I was there as well, and I managed to have a look to see how he did it.

I cant remember that much, but he had appeared to use the front mounting holes for the bullbar, to which was attached a fabricated version of the standard towbar angle iron. The towball bracket itself was offset to the left, because also attached was another plate which I presume was for a winch.

It's still about, If I see it again i'll get a grainy camera phone pic for the gallery.
