[Vwdiesel] Hitch

[dieseltdi at verizon.net]

The hitch I have on my MKIV is a hidden hitch, it is a receiver hitch but only for the small size not the full 2" type.  It attaches to the sheet metal of the  spare tire holder and to the passenger side tow loop.  I strengthened mine by having a long piece of iron cut to fit inside the spare tire well to give something more substantial to bolt to and to pull down on.  Hayden

"We're going to close the unproductive tax loopholes that have allowed some of the truly wealthy to avoid paying their fair share. They sometimes made it possible for millionaires to pay nothing, while a bus driver was paying 10% of his salary – and that's crazy. Do you think the millionaire ought to pay more in taxes than the busdriver?  Ronald Reagan

“I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger, every innovation as a toilsome trouble, every social advance as a first step toward revolution, and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all.”  Alexis de Tocqueville
