The A frame fits all. The bit that goes on the car is another thing.Do you know what car it was used on? or are A frames universal and just the car end that differs

Can you do the work yourself?Thanks, got a Smart car or a Panda we could tow. Just working out what else would be needed and costs involved
Geo....Car a tow fit a Universal A frame. It does not have any thing to stop it fitting a car like a smart or a Jeep . It comes down to the bit on the front. Car a tow will charge a fortune for a Pull bar for what ever car it is. Its designed by them for all cars. That said.......they monopolise on the bit that fits the cars it has to go on to!Beg to differ, (For the record) eye spacing is not standard, it is rare to get one manufacturers A frame to fit an other manufacturers vehicle mount.
The A frame on offer is very good value and a very popular make.
Finding a Car A Tow vehicle mount to suite will be among the easiest.
You would need to find Tow A Car smart car vehicle mount or Panda mount (or Both) for your cars, (Circa £150 second hand) both are also very popular, simple spanner and a weekend DIY job. snap it up while you canThanks, got a Smart car or a Panda we could tow.

Just be careful which Smart it is. Some of the automatic gearboxes don't allow towing. There is a lot of info on this elsewhere on the forumThanks, got a Smart car or a Panda we could tow. Just working out what else would be needed and costs involved

That's a good cheap price, I can see that going quickly.Still for sale despite all the fitters on here.
Whats meant is the A frame will fit ANY car with the correct mount on the car.I fit A frames for a living up to retirement,
No such thing as a Universal A Frame even vehicle mounting methods will differ from manf to manf
Some use long pins 22" to 24" some use two short pins spacing differs ,some use flat plate with pins some use Rose joints
Should be able to, mechanic by trade so can't see it being a problem if the info is avail.Can you do the work yourself?
If so..................You will save £700!
A smart car fitted with a car a tow system is approx £850
Kev...............Trust me...done it!

a boat anchor that you could sell if not used to get your money back if you don't use it. They don't come up used that often and there is always somebody wants one. A big saving on the new priceShould be able to, mechanic by trade so can't see it being a problem if the info is avail.
Our smart is a 2009 with the semi auto box, no full auto mode. So basically a manual with an automated gearchange to should be towable, will do some searching to make sure. Failing that have a 2013 Panda.
Thanks for the input folks, sounds straight forward enough. If we already had a towbar on the MH I'd snap it up but need to look into costs for fitting that first or could end up with a boat anchor.
Funniest post this year you have your nickers in a twist and a total misunderstanding of the word UniversalYou still misunderstand Geo, the A frame by Cox is universal to Cox...they don't have a different specific frame for different cars only the bracketry is different
If you have a Ford ka and a Cox frame the same frame will fit a smart car IF you use Cox brackets for the smart.
I don't mean the frame is universal across all makes.... Just the frame maker.
This is a wind up init you both cant be that thick.i know it is a CarATow I commented on the make saying it was very popular make that's why I said heGeo - the make of the A frame is CAR A TOW. Keep up old chap and put your knickers on with the fly hole at the front, not the back.

Your still missing it Geo. The frame will fit any CAR, or even a London bus, with the correct brackets therefore the A FRAME is universal but the brackets ARE NOT.Funniest post this year you have your nickers in a twist and a total misunderstanding of the word Universal
Isn't that EXACTLY what i said in post No 9, He would need a Tow A Car Bracket to go with the Tow A Car A frame ergo the actual A frame is not universal, it is specific to Tow A Car if it were universal it would fit any bracket, regardless of manufacturer.
If you want to know anything electrical give me a shout
I think thay are getting there now.Your still missing it Geo. The frame will fit any CAR, or even a London bus, with the correct brackets therefore the A FRAME is universal but the brackets ARE NOT.
