Mk2 carrier tow hitch on a Mk1

[Ron Pier]

That's how mine are on my MK2. Without the Stacey attachments, I guess you would need some packing pieces (hardwood?) or re-weld the flanges in a different position. Ron

Ron, yes, I was thinking of making wood packing or spacers. I wonder if the factory used different fenders for carriers w/o hitches?

[Ron Pier]

Dave I just looked in the parts book. The numbers for those rear guards are
CTL 14326B for the RH side and CTL 14327B for the LH side. These are for vehicles fitted with the sprung hook.

Without the hook the "B" is substituted for an "A". so the guards are different. Simple enough for a welder to modify yours though. Ron

Thanks Ron. What I am going to do is get the fender holes lined up a bit better and install a couple wood spacers to take up the gap.
