Default Tow Bar

Looks like I need to cut a hole in the rear bar to fit a towbar. Just after some info on whether a towbar will fit a TS50 rear bar. My car came with a towbar, but I sold it after fitting the kit.

Has anyone done this. Obviously an aftermarket bar as I think T-Series were not allowed to tow. By chance does anyone have one for sale or do you know a part number or who has one for sale. Will check with ftg, but first i wanna make sure i can get a genuine one to fit. Also, if you got an pics with a TS50 rear bar and tow bar fitted, I want to get an idea of where I need to insert the hacksaw blade.

Thanks

Thanks for the offer. At the moment, not sure what I'm doing in respects to fitting one, just considering it at the moment.
