Hello everyone, i need some help fitting my tow bar to my mini,i bought it recently off ebay but im not sure if all the fitting parts are there!

The bits i have got is obviously the main tow bar frame which has a plate welded to it with 2 holes in it and a separate piece of angle iron with 4 holes in it.having offered it up to my car its clear to see how that all fits on the rear cross member of the rear subframe! the bit im unsure of is where it bolts the other end.does the single bolt just go directly through the boot floor? does there need to be a strengthening plate that would go inside the boot where the bolt goes through?

I hope this makes some sense! any info would be great! cheers!!

Bolts to rear subby, and as you suspected through the floor, what I would do it used some LARGE Washers on the bolt to spread the looad of the bolt...

when i had my toe bar fitted the single fixing went throught the metal under the back seat and not the boot floor :smartass:
