Hi
Just bought a Sankey Rapier Military Trailer.
Need NATO hitch for my 2016 Disco 4, have got a stand-alone NATO hitch lying around but:
1/ Is there an off the shelf one available I can use instead of LR standard issue I currently have and just replace it with ready to go on my D4 (which is removable and stored in the boot)
2/ Do they sell above but just a flat adaptor plate I can just mount NATO on myself, I may also need to raise the towing height aswell as the Trailer sits quite high and want to tow it levelish.
.....Or do I need to engineer and fabricate my own solution ???
Thanks Andy.
 
Won’t you fall foul of type approval if you use the nato hitch on a D4?

Might be easier to change the rapier to 50mm ball

mmm not sure re approvals (?), yes looking to swapping to ball if I have to and easier option... was just wanting to keep trailer as original as possible thats all and this may not be so straight forward given the way the NATO towing eye effects the brake actuation aswell .... Ill have to review this when I physically get the trailer next week.
 
It’s to do with age of the towing vehicle and the hitch fitted to it rather than the trailer itself.

lots out there on google, including VOSA type approval certificates
