Trouble with tow bars is there are rules and regs for how strong they need to be 'n' such. You'd be better off looking for one in a scrapyard or getting hold of a spares/repair Vit with one on, and salvaging lots of parts.

There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.
