Hitch for towing ?

Post by BlueOne »

I just can not seem to find a hitch I can install on my beetle.
Anyone have one or any direction on where to find one ?
I want to be able to pull a small trailer behind my beetle.
Thanks for any help.

I've taken the ball hitch off of the '66 I bought last Fall. If you still need one get back to me. D2

I think there is a missing part that goes across the lip in the photo and attaches on the upper side of the lip in the photo. ?????

OK< All fixed and mounted, welded a cross bar on the LIP.
Pulled trailer today, did very well. NOW to figure out how to add my HOPKINS to the rear into the tail lights for the trailer.
