HELP ! TOW BAR FOR 911 2012 ?

1st of May not the 1st of April isn't it?

Yellow pages and the internet would be good starting points.
There are definitely far fewer companies fitting them since new legislation and requirements about the electrics.
Clearly impossible on a 911 as the engine is at the back.
 
thanks for the reply , take at this photo someone must be able to do it ?

This is the most famous http://www.willwoodsystem.com for trailer hitches on the 911.

Technically it is possible on the 991 by using the bumper bar, however, only for towing light loads less than 150kg to 200kg. Track wheels, tyres and a very lightweight trailer for instance. The bumper bar is obviously rated for greater than the weight of the vehicle, for the purpose of towing, but not the vibration, stress and forces towing a fixed additional vehicle would require.

If you remove the rear PU, the bumper bar, heat shielding and rear exhaust mufflers you will find chassis that can be welded to for greater weight. It's how the 964 guys in the US attach their hitches.

All of the above would probably be less than legal in the UK and your Insurance would be void as the 911 has no towing weights, capacities or advice in its type approval.

Respect for asking! If you do it you have to post pics and how it was done. Tempted myself, but only as a cycle carrier :thumbs:
