There were towbars available in Sweden for the Galant E39A! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
The E39A Galants sold in sweden were equipped with the JDM bumpers, so these towbars were made primary for a JDM bumper equipped E39A Galant. But that's actually not an issue for us who have the US bumpers! I had this towbar on my GVR-4 with US bumpers and there wasn't any issue at all! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Also, it is bolted to the chassi in excisting holes from the factory, not the bumper or it's reiforcement bar.
The good: Direkt bolt-on to the chassi, no need to cut anything! It pulls alot of wheight, 1800 kg or ~3900 lbs!
Proof of the wheight specs:
I also have the install manual in PDF where it verifies the wheight specs!
The bad: This towbar weighs alot, 17 kg or ~37,5 lbs. You need to drill a small hole for the wiring (if wiring is required in the US).
I gave you this info because I have some "left over parts" from another towbar (E39A spec parts of course). If anyone is interested in making a custom towbar for the GVR-4, I might be able to donate the "left over parts" (but you have to pay shipping)! The "left over parts" that I am able to donate are the angled fasteners thats bolted to the chassi, and the bar that goes between those fasteners.
Right side angled fastener:
Angled fasteners uses factory bolt holes (each side uses 4 bolts to the chassi)
Left side angled fastener:
Bar that goes between the angled fasteners:
These parts might not be alot, but maybe it's a start for someone to make a custom towbar??
if there's an interest, I could check the shipping costs! I just have to get those angled fasteners off the car first /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
