> I'm looking for a trailer hitch for my 87 Westy

I still have a few of those "bulletproof" Genuine Volksewagen trailer
hitches that were mentioned on these pages a few months ago. These are
_extremely_ heavy duty hitches that are designed specifically for your
Vanagon and sold by VW dealers in South Africa.  They bolt right into the
frame of your Vanagon, using existing bolt holes, and come with a 2" ball
(which is not easily swapped for other sizes since the ball mount is of
European rather than US spec, although some list members have had
receiver-hitch mounts custom-welded to theirs for about $75).  Price is
$179.95 plus shipping.   I'm have about 8 left, after which I expect them to
be unavailable for up to several months due to supply problems in South
Africa.
