Billy,
Did you take note of the construction details for these towing bars? I
would like to learn more about how they are made and mounted. Thanks
for the lead on this.

I took some pictures of one installation. I'll be scaling from that. I'll
post pics and details ASAP. I'm kinda tied up for the next few days though.

Billy,
Thanks for the reply. I can wait on the pictures. I know about being
tied up. I promised the Net an article on an hubcap option three months
