I had my towbar made by a pal who has a fabrication company so its quite bespoke, reason is I also tow a bike trailer for when I take the big bike which weighs in at about 300kgs, I couldnt see the point of paying £600 from one of the towbar specialists.
The easylifter is a great bit of kit and just clamps on to it, solid as hell and if I`m not mistaken theres one for sale on mhfun at the moment for £180 and looks as good as new.
I`ll take some pics of it perhaps tomorrow cos its dark now but its got the scooter on too cos we`re off to Ambleside aire in the morning to celebrate our ruby wedding in the mh.

I see what you mean about the chassis extension. The five bolts show clearly in the pic with the spare wheel. They would take all the stress. I don't want to fit a tow bar so it would be a question on the the load moment on those bolts that the rack and scooter would create. Thanks

I can't see how you could carry a scooter without having a tow bar fitted. There are some good pictures of towbar mounted racks here:

M parkinson in lancs and PWS in Poole both do them, saw one of parkinsons on an Escape the other week and looked a really nice bit of kit, fits straight onto the chassis
