All the discussion about adapters and spacers has me confused.

I bought the flat tow bar kit. I bought the harbor freight towbar. Both just came in. Do I need to buy more stuff and from where?


See below picture.
If you have this adapter in your stash, you are good to go.
Otherwise, call 914Rubber or send this picture to them.

I have an older tow bar. Will the adapters fit a 1"x2" box tube?

Just completed universal tow bar brackets that allow you to use the EMPI bar without them or you can use HF, Walmart towbars with the adapter brackets. You can see how my adapters allow you to simply trade out the originals and that the steel we used was thicker than than the actual tow bar.

The bar with the hardware to mount it is $99 and the adapter brackets are $25
New brackets shown on a Walmart bar.

My tow bar is barely visible from the front We're doing another run who's in ?

I've been using this in testing for the last 6 months probably should sell these eventually so GB is on

I bought mine a year ago but same question. I don’t remember anything about adaptors.

If you bought my bar you might need the adaptors. You can see the end that I took off that would allow a bolt to go through. The adaptors are shown attached to the Walmart bar.
You should take a look and see what you have as the bars I made were designed for the Empi tow bar. Post up a pic of what you have I can let you know.

I have an older tow bar from Pepboys circa 2000ish. Will the adapters fit a 2" box tube?
Or... what size is the HF C-channel bar?
