Hi all,

My Jimny came with a brink detachable towbar that got wedged in the first time I tried to fit it, and so in the end or remove it I ended up unbolting the mounting with neck and bar still attached. That means that all I am now left with is the main mount, so I was wondering if it is possible to get a fixed neck that I can just bolt in to this mount.
It looks like this... and the gap between the two vertical mounting plates is approx 57mm.

Any help or advice would be very welcome.

Cheers

Ben

Keep posted on how you get on! I have one of these toward without the ball/swan neck part that fits into the block that goes onto the bar( that'll be the part you removed that got wedged together)

I have the same problem as well but I hadn't been able to identify the towbar, mine looks like this:
