Mounting electrical plug onto Hayman Reese towbar

[Slick1 Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close Slick1]

I just installed a new Hayman Reese towbar. It's their latest version which mounts to the chassis rail. Everything went smoothly with the actual towbar install, but I have a problem mounting the electrical plug onto the bar.

I am using a HR 7 pin flat plug, and the bar has a welded bracket for attaching the plug to. The problem is if I try mount the plug on top of the bracket, it won't fit because there is not enough height between the bracket and the bottom of the bumper bar. If I try mount the plug under the bracket, then the is not enough depth in the bracket.

Has anybody had a similar problem, or does anybody have a close up photo showing the electrical plug mounted onto the HR towbar?

Thanks,
Frank

Yes it is a fault I also discovered on my 120 bar, you need to speak to HR direct and get them to replace the bar. I haven't replaced mine yet. You can see I added a bit of flat bar and painted it black.

Thanks D4D. I will try calling HR and see what they say. In the meantime though I have also made an extension bracket from some flat bar. A bit disappointing though that they can't get something so basic right out of the factory !
