Nuts/bolts for tow bar ????

[sherlock]

Hi I have just got myself a tow bar and would like to fit it..(second hand)

I dont need one it's just that I'm crap at reversing.

It didnt come with any bolt/nuts etc to fit it. So my ?? is what size do I need. Or do I just need bolts ?

Any help you can give....Thanks in advance. Sherlock

The bit that the trailer hooks onto looks the same but the tube on mine is more round (unlike the one in the pic that is more square)

Cheers. Sherlock

Revster, I thought the name Bosal rang a bell! Bosal Exhausts!

The above company must be part of Bosal Benelux, which in turn is part of
Bosal International who manufacture in 21 countries. They make tow bars, exhausts, roof bars, jacks & steel shelving systems.

I'd use ones that fit through the holes you already have in the bracket!! make sure they are high tensile though and use large over size washers to help spead the load
