But our tow bar is the same except below the green bit they have the swan neck where we have the 2" receiver - both still plug in to the rear cross member.

Thanks for the tip on this one loanrangie. Went searching for this as was interested to see what they came up with. Apparently it was designed by a Disco3.co.uk member and the design was shared freely.

Or you can buy from Advanced Factors:

KIT434 Swan Neck Security Plate Kit

Looks to be a neat solution and only takes 5mins to fit.

Has anyone tried this with the Aussie version of the tow receiver?

Where does one attach safety chains when this plate is installed?

I have always attached my safety chain to the recovery point. The eye holes next to the receiver don’t look as strong.

I note some in the UK use rated eye bolts to fit this plate and to give two attachment points but in the UK they use breakaway cables on braked trailers and not safety chains.
