I have bought a 90 with a chassis that has been changed for a galvanised chassis I think it’s a 300tdi chassis although it has a Td5 tub and rear fuel tank. The rear crossmember doesn’t have the usual hole on the right. I have tried a <98 Towbar and a Td5 but haven’t found a fit. Has anyone else had this issue? I’ll put a picture on to show the current arrangement. Many thanks

Are you using a drop plate with stabiliser bars, or trying to bolt a towball direct to the crossmember?
 
It’s more a case of the stabiliser bars are way off the holes where the towing eyes would be or the box section for the anti roll bar.
 
How much way off?

Mine fits to those holes in the anti roll bar box, but when I raised the drop plate to stop it being a plough the holes missed by 5mm and needed some adjustment.

Cheers

That is also a bit hard to understand, more pics might be useful.

The stabiliser bars should fit back from the drop plate, onto special fittings on the rear chassis leg, just aft of the rear axle.

I’ve tried this one and when the tow ball box plate is fitted the stabiliser bars don’t line up with the chassis in terms of angle and position?
