Hi everyone. Does anyone offer a tow hitch solution for a 914? Ideally, I'd like something that's detachable/not permanent/that won't uglify the car when not in use. Doesn't have to be super heavy duty. Basically, I'm looking for a way to tow a very small trailer, to take a shifter kart to and from races.
If there isn't an off-the-shelf solution, what would be the best way to custom rig something? Or is this totally inadvisable? The Emory Special (pix attached) can tow a baby Airstream, so I'm hoping a 914 can be made to tow a light trailer... Is anyone's 914 setup for towing here? There's gotta be someone! I'd appreciate any insight. Thank you. -duc Attached image(s) ![]() |

I used my left over class 1 hitch from my 91 MR2 Turbo by Dalan.
The reciever portion is vertical behind the bumper, and the ball plate reaches under the valance, behind the bumper, and pins up into the receiver. This is all out of view when not used, and there are no hole in my bumper. My car is conversion car, so my muffler is is not in the stock location. On the hitch, I shortened the overall width, and welded plates on the ends to bolt up at the old 76 bumper shock locations. I can get some pics this weekend if the rain lets up. |

Kevin, your set up sounds pretty ideal. Please do post photos! Thank you. -duc |
