CaverD3,
Any update from Aaron? I don't want to ring and bother him again. If you can let us know the status it would save many calls to him.
Are we to see deliveries before Easter - that is end of next?

Saw Aaron yesterday and haselled him. A small batch has been made and some are testing them. So far so good. Next batch will be slightly improved as a result. I can't see the next batch being ready for Easter at the moment though. 
They have used mine to test fi but I don't do enough towing to give it a proper testing, so I don't have one yet either. 
They test fitted one on RRS and it needed modifying as the RRS bumper sticks out more than the D3's. I followed the sport as we left and it looks goods when on.
So new batch needs some different backing plates from the D3 one fo RRS. Getting there is half the fun

"...So new batch needs some different backing plates from the D3 one fo RRS...."
This just confirms that nothing worthwhile is achieved easily or quickly. I just hope that Aaron has a mended leg and is still doggedly working to sort out the glitches. Those of us who ordered early (effectively investing in a new invention) are getting a salutory lesson in risk (I can only imagine how Aaron feels about risky inventions). Next week I'll be doing about 600km of rough road/beach with the plow towing a trailer, but imagine that by Christmas we'll all have faces like =  Jim Dowell

Thanks CaverD3 for the update.
Oh well, will just need to pull the van with the plough again this Easter. Won't be hitting any hard dirt roads so it will work okay.
Hopefully the hitches will be ready by the next school hols in June 08 (pretty please Aaron).
Thanks again.

New components being cut, then they need to be welded and zinc coated. I suspect time too tight for Easter.  Getting there is half the fun

Hello all
I have just spoken to Aaron and ordered a hitch for my D3.
He said that he had outsourced the manufacture to a long term mate as they were too busy at Mitchell's at the moment. They should be available in two/three weeks time.
Heres hoping.

Looks like Aaron has got there.
New batch looks good, I saw them before they went to be zinc coated. Excellent quality. Getting there is half the fun
