Has anyone had a hitch reciever installed on the back of a new Beetle?

What type of recumbent are you going to use to carry your New Beetle?

I have a Stratus and an Aluminum EZ-3. My major concern is the bottom mount
(reciever hitch)

Did it myself. Worked great at towing a leetle trailer for my Vanguard.

Did you use a commercial hitch or do a homebuilt?

How did you attach it to the car?

Any photos?

thanks

Guy

Commercial, Draw-Tite maybe. Four points of attachment: two half-ish inch
holes in the tire well with big beefy backing plates that I sealed real well
with some goop, the towing loop and (the hardest to assemble) an attachment
shared by a muffler hanger and the heat shield via two 5/16-ish screws. The
'sandwich' was difficult to get assembled and the screws started. No
photos, sorry.
