A friend of mine has bought a towbar ages ago for his sceptre, now its the time to fit it. Only thing is that when he got it it came with some big rubber bushes and long bolts and now the silly-billy cant find them. It looks like it attaches to where the bumper bolts on. Any suggestions as to what he should do??

Thanks.

It does attach to where the bumper fits on , only instead of the bumpers 2 bolts each side the tow bar has 4 the bottom 2 need the outer skin drilled out but are there . and yes you need washers and spcers and the correct size bolts .

Cool Thanks guys for the suggestions, my mate Mitch popped down to his local scrap yard where there is another Secptic with a towbar on it and had a good look at that one. I spoke to him a little while agaoand it's on, just got the the electrics to do once it stops raining.

He should be bringing the car & caravan to a show we're going to next weekend, so I'll try to get some photos and post 'em on here. He's got a Cheltenham like Gillberry's, but it's slightly moddified.........
