I am having a removable tow bar fitted to my car and wondered if there is a Bumper plate that some how bolts onto the swan neck.
I have seen the self adhesive clear silicon pad that stick to the car bumper, but don't particularly want to use one as it might leave sticky residue behind when eventually removed.
Any advise or pointers would be appreciated.
thanks
Paul

Having just purchased a 'new' car with a detachable towbar I found that the new purchase left a deeper void than the old fixed bar. As I usually hitch up using the Ego Mover and have managed to stay clear of my bumpers for thirty years I am probably safe but I have considered manufacturing an aluminium shield (simply a right angle fold in a piece of ali sheet) backed with some foam cushion, or even old carpet, to slot over the bumper.
That should solve any minor bumps. If I hit it harder perhaps its time to pack the game in!!!
