Can anyone tell me where i can find supplier of

tow bars - made to measure - not off the shelf

 in midlands please

I don't think it is possible to make towbars to measure nowadays, all tow bars need to be type approved by law and this would make a one off towbar very very expensive. I do not know what the penalty would be for supplying a non type approved towbar, but I doubt if you will find any firm willing to risk it.

When he got home & unpacked the boot he found out why the boot floor had split & was flexing everytime the caravan hit a bump.

They do need to be designed properly.


PS. why made to measure & not off the shelf? what car is it for?

Towtrust, Towsure, EECO, Watling and BOSAL all make towbars for the 90 quattro.
