Towing brackets
« on: March 22, 2007, 20:58:06 »
Will this adapter plate fit my disco? I need one for my shock link I have bought off ebay. This one looks shorter than most others I have seen so less chance of even more of a plough!

I have the tow bar type that has the sort of triangular re-inforcing bars that goes to the chassis. With this type of tow bar I have 2 small bolts 1/3rd from the top of the main plate where you can bolt tow balls onto. will this fowl the bracket?

If you've got the standard discovery rear plough fitted then that adaptor plate will fit your disco.
