Pete,

I have a light duty trailer hitch that was removed from a parts van.  It's
the kind that bolts between the bumper brackets.  Would work fine for that
light trailer.  Looks like it was welded once, but it seems quite solid...
$20, plus shipping and it's yours.

Cheers,

Jeff

Subject: Looking for Trailer Hitches

Hey, Volks:

Just scored a pretty nice little Pro Trailer Sport Tote for $150 in
Leesburg, Indiana.  Found on Craigslist, South Bend.  My brother and I went
down this morning and towed it back with his '85 Westy.  He has the GoWesty
hitch.

Was wondering if anyone has a trailer hitch unused they would like to sell?
Is the Gowesty the best, or are others using other hitches?

I'm figuring I need two of them, one for my air-cooled '79 (different
hitch?) and one for the '87.
