hi folks
i'm planning on having my towing armature removed but having been under the vehicle i see that the hangers on which the exhaust hangs off are part of the armature...i 100% want the armature removed and the electrics but how do i over come the exhaust hangers issue ??? .. i cant just leave the exhaust without a hanger as they are heavy and will eventually just fall,but once the armature is removed there is no means of me hanging the black rubber hanger back up to hold the exhaust to anything,i'm sure many on here has had this done but what is the solution to my problem,is there a kit available... any help on this issue is very much appreciated.. the bits coming off will be for sale as i don't need them
best regards steve..

Steve, there are two brackets that get removed to fit the tow bar. When removing the tow bar you need to refit the two brackets!

a few members have recently fitted towbars so in theory they should have these brackets...put a 'wanted' post up or look on ebay.... ... - .- -.

thanks for the info but iv'e looked on ebay couldn't see any of the brackets that your describing,see lots of rubber hangers which i don't need ,don't suppose you sell them brackets do you by any chance
regards steve

hello folks ..
quick update to say i managed to get a set of exhaust bracket ,i didn't think they would be that big and heavy but they are... got one off fleabay,what i didn't realised was the back bumper had to come off and half the plastic storage compartment, on the left next to all the disc drive and bluetooth module and on the right where various tools are stored had to come out to get easy access to the nuts and the towing wiring loom,got the under shield out with a small paint brush and touched up little rust patches whilst i was under there also done the bolt head in under shield to keep them rust free for few years,must say the old armature ain't half heavy,any how all done with now..thanks to each and every one of you who gave advice and offered various deals... now to try sell the armature...
