  • Towbar

    Hi all

    Could anybody please explain or show me where to fit a tow ball onto my roadster please.

    Also thanks to the people who replied to my earlier post. I wish to fit the tyre onto the boot and after looking at the pictures the boot is recessed for the spare tyre. Has anybody done it on a regular boot before or does it stress the fibreglass to much.

    Thanks Tom

    Hi Tom, the Marlin towball was welded to the rear bumper as a factory option

      I had a bolt through one on my roadster with suitably made spacer to match curvature of rear 'bumper'. Towed my sailing dinghy with no problems.
