A customer wanted to tow his sea doo behind his VW: Attached ImagesCommon sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.
Reply:I forgot to mentiont that the rear tube bumper assy was bolted on pretty half/*** so I stiffened all the mounting points with 1/4" s.s plates.  Then I incerted a 1 1/2" scd 40 s.s pipe in between the bumper uprights and drilled it out to accept a ball which I welded in.  From where the stainless ends and the chromed pipe begins, there was rust already forming so a clearcoat was applied.  Also in the front bumper assy, a 3/8" s.s plate was mounted on top to accept a ball also to front load the sea doo into his toy trailer.  The whole project took about 6.5 hours.  The custom fits to the original mounts consumed most of my time.Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.
Reply:Nice rig!  We've got a sand rail that I do a lot of mods and repairs on which makes for interesting projects and seat of the pants engineering.  Do you have any detailed pictures or close ups of the hitch and mount?  Just like to see how others approach this kind of stuff.TinkerCentury 135GS, ThermalArc 250GTS
Reply:That is a pretty nice setup. A lot of people do like to push things like that around in tight places. Tuff to incoperate a front hitch on a fancy rig like his without looking like a "front hitch".  Good work.
Reply:That wasn't too difficult, mounting the front hitch setup.  The front was mounted well enough to serve it's purpose.  As for the back, I'll have to take some more photos when he comes though again.  He comes by pretty often.Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.
