| re Parking Sensor rotation |

CaverrD3
You mentioned in your post to rotate the sensors 75 degrees away from the tow hitch, can you tell me 75 degrees which way. Lets say I am doing the drivers side sensor is that 75 degrees clockwise or anticlockwise

That is 75 degrees away from the hitch. ie as you look at the back; the sensor to the right of the hitch: Clock wise.
The sensor to the left of the hitch: Anticlockwise.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I managed to remove the sensors as per your description. I am sure all the D3 owners who have bought Mitchell Bros tow hitch will be very thankful for your assistance.
Thanks again

Another option to stop the sensors going of is to block off part of the sensor. I used a plastic protector cut in half. Now I can leave the hitch in without the sensors going off. But you must make sure there is no air gap between the sensor and plastic protector.

Some I think have used butyl tape as it absorbs the signal.

I've seen a silver D3 with one of these fitted a couple of times now on Warringah Rd. It looks like such a better design than the factory one. A real step forward, well done all.

Disco3 sticker on the back and an ARB front bar?
Black painted hitch?
Diven by a lunatic?

All fitted now,
I have'nt had time to get a shorter hitch but noticed if I turned the original upside down it has a pretty good height.

Not me then.
I saw a silver one in Brookvale with roof rack and Tassie plates a couple of weeks back. No hitch at the time.
