Thanks suew, makes sense, I don't tow much, maybe half a dozen times a year, but I do used 2 different trailers, it's just that everything else has been tidied up ... the tow bar always makes the rear end look old!!
I wouldnt worry.
Can you spray over galvanising??them rear ends are made of cheese...
fit 1 of these from pressbrake then fit your tow step,
Suppose I could take it all off, have it shot blasted, spray it then put it back again, probably be easier to just put a new one on for £140 though !!I know what you mean, I have one on mine. Its ugly and worse still it moves because it is only held in place by the one bolt. Horrible thing but usefull
Yep, they bolt through the cross member but there are some 'support arms' too that bolt to the chassis....True but the new one would soon go rusty too.
I bought some spray stuff from the motor factors a while ago intending to do mine. Its some sort of weird paint/wax oil or whatever but its black
Intending to tidy mine up when the weather is a bit better.
Just been looking at those tow steps. Do they only fasten to the cross member? If so I agree with BoB (cant believe I said that) I wouldn't want a heavy trailer just on that. Mine has bits that fasten onto the chassis further forward as well.
