I just found another pic that shows how it looks fitted, but it seems like the safety chain hitch is behind the grille??

This pic looks like the same one as in the link, and mounts on the muffler bolts but you may be best getting one made locally since they would be heavy to ship.

This would be awesome for towing a set of tools and wheels with slicks to the track. Unhitch the trailer, race for a day, hook the trailer back up and drive home.

Are you in Melbourne?
I had a place that custom made a tow bar for my Stagea that I tow a car with.

Just wondering, is there an Aussie supplier who makes a good tow hitch for the SW20?
Here is a thread from the MR2OC, talking about such a thing:

... And here is the company, Curt, who make the hitches..

Apparently very good quality and they're rock solid. Obviously wouldn't be towing any sort of 'real' load. This is more of a thing for when I want to put the road bikes on the back and go for a trip to some place where there are some nice hills to ride up. Or maybe even tow a small trailer come rental property moving time, or when I want to pick up a Fridge/washer/you name it...

I'd like to support an Aussie company before I consider buying something like this overseas.
