Detachable Towbar Security Bracket

So...I spotted somewhere on here a nice metal bracket that bolts to the cross member to reduce the risk of the towbar going walkies and falling out.

Can anyone point me in the direction of where to buy one?

Thanks

Ryan Wild on the Facebook group is selling them. I've got one on mine with the HD tow bar.

There was a tidy set of instructions on here with all sizes etc so I made my own, easy enough with a 4.5 inch grinder and thin slitting discs.
Remember to use nylock nuts and slather the whole lot in grease when done

Why not just take it off when not in use? Or get a fixed one? 1995 Discovery 1 300TDI

Hi I always remove the tow bar ASAP after use. Principally because in the event of an accident the rear crumple zone performs better without the tow bar. Not to mention the vehicle that hits the Disco. 2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE

Mine's always off unless I need it, also have no movement in my towbar when fitted, it's as snug as a bug in a rug lol. Jaguar I-Pace HSE imminent.
