Now then all.

I am after a tow bar for my Alfa. I am getting more in to trackdays and need a trailer to transport a motorbike around.
Can anyone recommend which electric set up I am best going for?
Any other tow bar related information/help greatly appreciated... smile

Thanks, Stuart.

Thanks, Stuart.
13-pin can be easily converted back to 7-pin if required. I had the B+ battery charging cable connected (extra) as you never know when this might be useful.

Installing a towbar on an Alfa is apparently a pig of a job. Best trusted to a pro who has experience of Alfas. You may need to modify the rubber exhaust mounts to stop the exhaust rattling against the towbar plate bolts. If you have parking sensors, ensure that they connect the auto-disconnect wire.

I selected the Westfalia removable towbar from PF Jones with a dedicated wiring kit (requires no cutting of Alfa wiring).

Thanks for the replies.
I'm a mechanic by trade, so think I'll probably give it a go myself.
It's looking more and more likely I'm getting a track bike so it's more of a case of when, not if!
And it needs a cambelt doing, too!
