ABSTRACT:
A tow bar insert for use with a conventional Volkswagen tow bar for towing a towed vehicle, such as a Volkswagen Super Beetle, embodies a U-shaped member adapted to fit within upstanding brackets at the end of the tow bar which is connected to the towed vehicle. A transverse load bearing member carried by each U-shaped member is positioned to engage an adjacent control arm extending laterally between the frame and each front wheel assembly of the towed vehicle. A retainer element detachably connects each U-shaped member to its upstanding bracket and limits movement of the U-shaped member relative to its control arm. A connector arm carried by one U-shaped member engages a sway bar connected to the control arms to center the tow bar underneath the front end of the towed vehicle.
