[T3] Bumper Hitch For VW's

[DGaries808@aol.com]

Does anyone know where to buy a bumper hitch for a VW? I thought that I had 
pulled a coup in buying a cargo carrier for my 1955 VW on which I planned to 
transport my new scooter to bug-ins. But lo and behold, my mechanic told me 
they don't make bumper hitches for older VW's anymore. The cargo carrier fits 
into a 2" square receiver. My mechanic had a hitch hat he said fit a 1968, 
but he didn't want to part with it. Then he convinced me that Type 1'a , 2's, 
and 3's didn't have anything to tie to. His 1968 model, which is out of 
production, has two long arms about 3 to 4-feet long that he said go up to 
the transmission mounts to bolt into place. I asked about Type 2's and Type 
3's, and he convinced me that They had the same problem as Type 1's. I asked 
about Type 181 Things, and he told me the same thing applies - you are not 
supposed to pull anything, if you drive a VW.

That doesn't make sense to me. The fellow at U-haul told me that they made a  
1-1/4" receiver hitch for 1968's and up. But he showed me a picture, and it 
looked like an H-pattern hitch about 1-foot long. I don't know who to believe.
