Moved to towing & Technical section. Moderator

Hey folks,

Gonna need to fit a proper bicycle carrier to the Deli, hence the need. Also will use the towing kit for pulling people when offroading.
Any recommendations? Can these be obtained second hand too ?

Thanks!

You can get both of the bay with the cycle carrier it depends if you want a hanging one, one that goes on a plate attached to the towbar plate or one that sits on the towbar ball itself.As to a towbar they are only £120 ish new of towequippe etc with single leccy on the bay i even fitted mine myself and i am a numpty as you know. :D

make sure you don't get a "swan neck" type if you want to use it with a bike rack ;)

I have a normal flange type tow ball on my Deli and i have a Maxxraxx Bike carrier that bolts to that enabling me to carry up to 5 bikes on the rack. I can carry bikes on the rack whilst towing too but not all those bikes because you have to look at the nose weight of the tow bar, I normally have 2 bikes on the rack whilst towing!!

Left rear light take it out and poke the cable up through a grommet underneath and splice it in.
