You can get fitted removable swankneck tow balls, but a bit pricey methinks!!!

Mmmm there's close in... Then there's dented fuel tanks Was thinking more of the thing that bolts to the recovery loop with 4 bolts - then comes off completely |

Ademade on up from a drop plate bought from towsure, the recovery point is rated for a ton I think, so a plate about 5mm thick and drilled to suit would be ok

Like the bottom of the doors, rear wings, rear door etc

I've got a similar drop bar to the one in pikeys picture but mine looks considerably stronger.I pulled my swift up one realy big hill in Devon last week without any probs.Some people say it's not safe to tow off the recovery point though.I will put a couple of pics on tonight
