Brink Towbars - Stabiliser.

David_5077080

Anyone help - Just bought a Touraeg with a detachable swan neck tow bar. My caravan is unsuitable for an alko stabiliser I normally use a bulldog. The swan neck hitch towbar is tapered does anyone know where I can buy a bracket to be able to use my existing bulldog stabiliser which is the leaf spring type.Alternatively does anyone know of another leaf spring stabiliser I can buy. My 1991 Luna is unsuitable for an alko because the hitch rotates through 360 degrees.

Thanks

David

David, I have re read your query and the bracket I suggested may not be suitable for a detachable swan kneck. Ray
 
Hello David, quite a few years ago i had a peugeot with a brink detachable which was taperedand after much time searching i found that i was unable to get any bracket that was desighned for my bar, in desperation i tried the normal clamp type bracket made by bulldog and found that it fitted with a very tight grip and very little of it was not in contact with the towbar. we used our car and towbar with the stabiliser for a full season without any problems only removing it when we bought a new van with an alko fitted. I know alko say its not recommended but it worked and with no alternative i had no choice.
