Is there a "how-to" on fitting a towbar on an estate?

got to do mine this weekend, anybody have any advise cos they've done one before?

All replies (apart from p*ss takes) appreciated.

guessing it would be towbar manufacturer specific, afaik noones ever done one.  Be my guest if you fancy a crack 

[Sixstring]

Right! I will.

(if I can get the pictures to come out properly, havent really sussed how to do that, yet)

Might get Broomie to help me with publishing it........

[Jimbob]

if you dont / cant get photos on line, you can always email them to me, and tell me where to put them

I have just fitted a brink detachable to mine and its was easy to do,the holes in the bottom of the rear chassis legs are already there and the boot floor above is dimpled where you need to drill.I used a 7 way bypass relay on mine but not sure if its strictly neccesary( I was concerned that the bulb failure system would have a fit when the trailer was attached)

edit: too my knowledge the brink is the same as genuine vauxhall and the removeable bit fits in the space provided where the jack etc goes

if you have alook under the carpet each side of the spare wheel door you will see little nipples where you need to drill holes for the towbar. it pretty straight forward mate.
