ms700 Moderating Team 10,170 Member For: 22y 14d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 09/01/04 02:28 AM Share Posted 09/01/04 02:28 AM Unfortunately due to the fact that the H/D gooseneck is so big and square, a hole like that will be needed so it fits through the bumper bar without fouling anything. There is no "neat and tidy" way of doing this. Im sure FORDTECH will agree with me here....But if you are not happy, take it back. At the end of the day the customer is always right. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 21y 9m 19d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 14/01/04 12:50 AM Share Posted 14/01/04 12:50 AM FORDTECH told me whatever you do get a factory fit towbar. Much neater than the dealer fit jobbie. And he was right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Basher_tsv Guests Posted 21/01/04 12:01 AM Share Posted 21/01/04 12:01 AM I'd like to see the factory fit for the heavy duty towbar as opposed to my dealer fit. Check out this closer pic. Any comments ?I am planning on taking it back into the dealer at my 15k service but what can be done ?? I am still trying to follow my "little SS plate cover" but that may look dodgy also. I look at the rear of my ute and love it all but the huge black hole smack in the middle of the rear skirt.Even if the cutout was "finished" off better with rounded edges and painted to match instead of the sheer cut.My only big gripe with my car so I count myself lucky.B.
