I just realized I had posted this in the wrong NAM section (R58 instead of R57 :P). Maybe I'll get lucky here


I'm trying to get information on what mounting points they've used to attach this custom made trailer hitch under the car... I understand this is more of an advertisement but does anybody knows who's car is this?

(if you don't want to be identify publicly feel free to PM me):

Thank you

Looking at that it looks like they just welded it to the Unibody.
Check out this much better bolt on kit

I should have specified that I'm working on a custom design that meets my needs.
They stated that their product is entirely bolt on as well. I know it looks like they welded something. It could simply be a weld to the custom pieces mounted to the car so it fits just right for all I know.

While I appreciate the existing setups, and I am still keeping them in consideration , none of the trailer hitch I have seen allow for complete and easy removal of all visible parts of the trailer hitch. I do not mind leaving the brace below but I want the ability to remove the attachment all together.
I also do not intent to have the bumper modified or cut this is why this came to my interest.

My application does not require heavy load.

Thank you thought for the offer...
By the way, this is for a R59 and I cannot see any of the images from that link. I'm not sure why that is

 

What is your application? Being that the Coupe and subsequent roadster are based on a convertible that would be where I would be looking for ideas. The nice thing about the hitch for my R55 is that is behind the license plate.

Do you have the abilities and skill to take on a project like this (fab/welding)?

 

Yes I do. The question is more will I found the time otherwise I'll have to get a help on the fabrication.


I'm asking here because of the fact that it's a convertible on the video. I've asked similar question on the other NAM section but the R58 & R59 are less common so there are fewer members browsing. Less people, less chances for answers

The application is quite simple. Eventually I'll be looking at holding 2 lightweight road bicycle but my primary focus is to be able to carry a spare tire (or the flat back) on long trips. So during daily driving I want to be able to remove the attachment so nothing is overly visible that would detract from the design elements of the car.
I also want to make it very compact (as far as holding the spare) so it looks like it is intended to be there rather than looking like the spare wheel is held a bunch of inches of the boot.
I'm already thinking t=of making an aesthetically pleasing cover for the spare if I can make it happen.

Yes that is really handy about the license plate covering the attachment. Not luck for me for that.
