There are two ways to go on that. You can do the original type that was steel plates that had a ball attached permanently or you can do the more modern type that has a receiver box that has a removable hitch/ball assembly. When I was in the EU there was a different black ball that stuck out on the end of a curved metal rod like a cat's tail that seemed different from what we have here in the US, so that may be a third way? I have an original one from the mid/late 1960's that you can have for cheap. It would likely look more correct but would require some fabrication work to get in there (which you'll likely have to do one way or another) If you go the more modern way, that should be left up to the trailer hitch professionals in your area (as would installation of the old type). They are going to be familiar with the government requirements. I predict that this will involve welding or fabircation, unless you find a trailer hitch with "1960 Imperial" stamped on the box by the mfg. -Not much of that going on these days... If so, then you're probably going to have to pay a firm to install it, right? I'd go with their way of doing things, as they'll know what can be gotten away with. You'll want to show up with specifications in hand detailing the maximum weight that you'll be dragging around, including both max payload and the weight of the trailer, as different hitches are rated for different wieghts. I just got a 10,000 lb setup on my truck, and had to pay extra for that much strength. If I were towing a small sailboat or camper instead of an Imperial, it could have been much less money/metal. Talk to the tow people locally is the bottom line. They'll likely weld onto the frame rails or bumper brackets. Tell them to mind the gas tank if english vehicles generally don't have gas tanks that far back. -Kenyon --- Dave & Tracy <dave-tracy.sherratt@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, Looking for help on where a trailer hitch shold > be bolted to on a 60 Imperial.So if anyone has one > fitted I would love to here from you plus a picture > if possible of the fitting.I have to get it right > due to U.K Law etc. > Regards > Dave. > 60 Le Baron. ----------------- http://www.imperialclub.com ----------------- This message was sent to you by the Imperial Mailing List.
