Tow bars was created by mlines
Following my own unsuccessful search for a decent towbar on ebay (Why do people insist on bidding too much!!) I have decided to stock new ones in my shop.

See

www.bigjimny.com/store/index.php?_a=product&product_id=209

www.bigjimny.com/store/index.php?_a=product&product_id=210

Note that these kits are complete with wiring and hitch.

This is the tow bar you get from Martin, fitted today seems very solid.

I take it that is not a removable ball? (apart from unbolting it)
My MOT man always used to fail mine as it covered the number plate so I ended up taking it off for the test then putting it back on.
I eventually moved the number plate on to the spare wheel (with lamp) :)

I started off high and worked my way down ever since :-)

You are correct, I forgot that I had a Bradley for mine (I can do these as well for an additional charge)

Well surprising as it may seem I would agree as strictly speaking the ball does "partially obscure the number plate"
It's a very mute point but these days a lot of MOT places are getting stricter because if they don't it comes back on them.
I've no problem with the tester as he always rings up if there is a problem and the first time this came up he rang and asked for permission to unbolt it.
He didn't fail it offhand.
Of course if you have a removable ball it's no problem :)

Hi Martin! How much would it cost to post a Tow Trust Towbar - Pin/Ball and Jaw to N Ireland.
Cheers!
