Since i had to paint the bumpers when i did the rest of the body paint, i decided to fabricate a trailer hitch into the bumper. i looked and there definitely was room behind the Type 2 early bumpers. I didn't want anything hanging down and wanted a tasteful look, so i decided to fabricate it between the bumper brackets / behind the bumper and have the hitch receptacle in the bumper itself. the washer was used to stop anything from hitting the body (which is only 1cm away when installed). This was pre-grinding and cleanup: |
