Just bought the 100q from tow sure. I also need a bracket to go onto the tow bar of my terrano. What exactly do i need and where can i get it? will the attachment go on my tow bar?
thanks, Paul.
thanks, Paul.

Hi Paul surely everything you need for your tow is available from Towsure.
Look on line and you can see what you need

Hi Paul, I would have thought everything would have been included. If you look at the picture in the Towsure catalogue it looks like its all there.
HI Paul. Jasper is right, it fits beween the ball and the bar
and comes with the stabiliser kit.We are very pleased with our
bulldog,we had to use a bulldog becauce we have 4x4 with spare wheel,its in the way for a hitch stabiliser, still find it hard to see how a hitch stabiliser
with 4 little pads can be as affective as a steel blade and friction pad
with 2/3 times the friction area,perhaps thats why they want
another

Paul didn't say whether the towbar is a bolt-on towball type or the swan neck variety. The question would be understandable if it's the latter, but there are adapters available for them, too.
By the way, Rob, the performance of integrated stabilisers is covered by international standards. Among other things, this gives towbar and car manufacturers parameters by which to design the towbar and the vehicle underbody structure. Although these standards do not apply to blade stabilisers like the Bulldog, it would be folly for manufacturers of such stabilisers not to limit the performance of their products to the same standards. Much higher stiffness could result in structural problems. This may not be an issue with the Terrano in question, but certainly could be for some saloon cars.

Hi Lutz international standards you say, this must come under
the new standard for clutch failer if used on anything other
then a perfectly flat road ,turbo failure after the first time
you pull the van to Spain,or plug in any thing electical into
the car,it would be nice to think car manufacturer think of us,
but our hobby requires a car to do things its not designed to do,
have you noticed how much it is to have a tow bar fitted to a new car,are they trying to tell us something.
