Thread: Help Hayman Reece towbar fitting on D2

why do you want a HR setup?


would there be legal issues about fitting a different setup?

If you get stuck give me a yell, I may be able to muddle through it with you.

HR are desired using level riders on heavier trailers.
The std L/R ones arn't suitable.
The H/R is built to fitt so I can't see a legal issue.

Hi Pedro it is a much better, stronger towbar. There should'nt be legal issues as it is purpose made by HR for a discovery 2, even has it written on the id plate. Same rating too 3500kg and 250kg ball weight.


Thanks Steve

Thanks Kyle, I sent ya a PM

Gday we replaced the LR bar with the HR one, and didnt have any fitting instructions, from memory i had to drill 2 13mm holes after marking them, the bolts and nuts are bloody tight to do up so be prepared to put a bit of effort into doing them up.

Pedro we replaced ours because the LR bar is not tested for compliance with the HR WDH

The holes as best as I can figure are there already but I think are too small (if I'm right).
Yeah I reckon it seems a better towbar in general

Thanks Steve

Yeah thats rite, i think it was 13mm or 20mm That long ago mate i can not remember LOL we did a lot of k's towning the van with the LR bar when we had the air suspension but when we ditched the airbags and went coils we had to use the WDH for the ride. LR would not suport the use of the HR WDH with their bar and also insurance check found if we used the HR WDH in the LR bar we would not be covered.

Surprises me a little they would'nt cover it. I did an extensive ringaround to anyone LR related that would talk to me regarding this and got very varying answers on WDH with LR bar and sls. The HR hitch thingy, you know the bit that slides into the towbar is very sloppy fit in the factory LR towbar and I would not tow it far like this as it has massive amounts of movement. I put the 2 HR bits together and a snug perfect fit.
