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

OK I give up tell us what make the bar is

Ahhh got me on that one, I will take a look, back soooooooooon.

Hi Kev, On the plaque it reads

TOBO
Nederlands
Type 9
does this make any sense to you as it's lost on me. Cheers Sherlock.

...does it look like this?

here's their address

Bosal Tobo B.V.
P.O. Box 168
4920 AD MADE
Telephone: 0162 68 70 00
Fax: 0162 68 58 80

I have never encountered them, but if you ask them nicely they may give you some information

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

which bolts then ? the ones that secure it to the chassis or what?

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
