'95 hatch towbar needed

[L13]

Hi, all, I'm hoping someone can help, I've been trying to find a towbar for my astra but keep coming up blank.
All the manufacturers say that the mk3 is too old and they no longer cater for it, and i cant seem to be able to find any on ebay.
I did find one listed for the mk2 belmont and the mk3 saloon, but i'm assuming that the saloon boot is different to the hatch.
Will any other type fit? I.E. the mk4/G towbar? Or is the mk4 astra floorpan wildly different?
cheers

their all pretty specific to vehicle because of chassis length width and bumper over hang. your deffo gona struggle

Thats what i thought ... i have been given a link to one company.. but at £127 it's about double what i expected and definitely more than i can justify spending on something i'm only going to use once or twice a year

i'd probably say that was pretty cheap!

It probably is... but i was expecting around the 70 quid mark... and don't really want to spend any more than that to be honest... well to be perfectly honest i was hoping for around 30 quid second hand

they are so incredibly rare I would be amazed!

Hello mate, blow me there is someone selling one for 25quid on Facebook! Get on there. It's collection only from Wales haha

 

[L13]

Yeah I've already seen that one...its a bit far to go to be honest... but it does look remarkably like a mk2 one I've seen on ebay I'll message the guy and see where abouts he is exactly and decide if I want to travel that far

 

[DavebGsi]

A mk2 one will fit a mk3 I should think

i have towbars on both astra mk2 and mk3. is it any help if i measure up to see if they are the same? there are bolts in the floor of the mk3 that arent there in the mk2

 

[L13]

That would be really helpful

 

[MarkGSi]

sorry for the delay, i have both cars side by side and the towbars seem to look and
measure identical

Thanks mate... I have a few possibles but it may have to wait ... theres a rumble coming from the front of the old girl and it needs addressing before I buy any 'accessories' for it ...
