Probably fit with ORA rear bumper, try PM'ing Dave from Bits4Vits, he has a fixed towbar on the back of his (though I dont know where from or what make) and also an ORA rear bumper.

Should do...

Here's the back of mine, with a slightly modified ORA bumper (to fit round a winch that's going on a modified tow hitch) -



You can just make out where I've cut the ball mounting plate in half...

Ah cool thanks!! Looks like it really stuffs rear clearance
Up though on an incline :-/ also I wonder if there is any modification to the the chasis as it looks like it bolts into the same place as the rear bumper ?

Yes, mine share the same bolt -



The other ORA bumper mounts are through the chassis rails, thus -



Ground clearance... the towbar is higher than the axles and shock bottoms -



And ground clearance won't be compromised too much -



As they are on the trailing edge and inline with the rear tyres...

The reason for my tow bar bracketry is that I'm adding a plate above it for the rear winch -



On to the top of the tow bar mount which has been cut in half... as can be seen in the photo with the rear 6-LED reverse / work light on...

Thanks for the pics and info looks cool and love your custom job on the rear bumper. You say about your tow bar bracketery what have you added different to what I would get to install ?
