Default Fitting a refurbished Witter "Stowbar" to my ZT-T 1.8t

My MG ZT 1.8t Saloon came with a Witter Stowbar frame fitted behind the rear bumper but, without the actual Stowbar and locking device. Daily patient searching of the ebay auctions turned up the missing items which I won for £15

My latest project car, a 55-Plate MG ZT-T 1.8t is shaping up nicely and looks favourite to become my regular daily driver. So has to have a Tow bar ideally.

Job now completed and fully fitted, the attached images show some work in progress. Good piece of useful kit.

I managed to get an original towbar earlier this year from a local breakers.

Bought the electrics from Witters. Just need to get round to fitting it.--Lol.

Only cost £65-00 and in excellent condition.

Tis the electrics for a towbar that I need sortign out. The CDT has a near new Towsure flange type on it with brand new ball but no electrics and am not sure what is involved with the canbus set up on the 75's?

Look on the witter site.

You can download all the info you need to fit the electrics and how to connect up with the Rover.--

I was advised to get a TEB7AS universal bypass relay, wired it in and it works fine with no upsetting the cars canbus light out system.
