Hayman Reese does not stock new tow bars for VW Transporters earlier than T4, so no luck there.

Just Kampers do list a towbar kit for the T3 (or the T25 as the Brits stupidly call it), but it is currently out of stock. Give them a call and they may be able to order one - 02 9645 7660

Otherwise you'll have to check with the VW parts suppliers for a second-hand one eg Vintage Veedub Supplies (02) 9789 1777

Hayman Reese are not worth using.

The only good Australian made towbar is from Melbourne Towbars. Part #VW6 but they are NLA. Look for a s/h one.

The genuine VW Germany towbars can be sourced s/h from a few suppliers in Europe.

I doubt if the JK ones are legal in Australia.

T25 is the VW factory terminology before 1990.

I read it on samba, so it must be correct.

Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!😂

G'day midlife crisis. I may have a Telstra bar but it's a step as well & ugly will have to check the shed tomorrow see if it's still there.

Don't they just bolt to the four bumper bracket mounting holes?

I've heard this a number of times on this forum, can't figure out why, I've lost count of vehicles I've had with HR towbars and I've never had a problem. What's the go?

I dream of a day when a chicken can cross a road without being asked for it's motive!

Some HR are great design (Beetle, T2 Kombi)
and others are crap (T3, Golf 1)
