MG ZT Saloon Detachable towbar

xion2000 · 10th May 2010, 21:04

I'm looking for a detachable type towbar to fit My 2004 (54) MG ZT CDTi Saloon. I would like one that is pretty much invisible when the ball is removed & if possible were the electrics are also hidden. Apparently the original MGR part was like this but I'm struggling to track one down. Can only find bars made by Witter & Brink. Any advise would be greatly appreciated & if anyone has a removable bar fitted then some photographs would be a great help

to assist in my decision making

Even the tow bar is clean not a surprize on Micks car

I'm on the same 'hunt' , while its nice to see another one ..."Black Olive also has one " in his 'how-to' It's extremely frustrating not being able to source one ...

I'm considering bailing out and fitting the cuurrent Brink Classic model, but its not what I really want

If you do find a supply rather than just 'one' please think of me and drop me a line ...

Cheers, Nick
