What you need is to look in the EPC and get the factory installation
instructions, then you'll have pictures and rough diagrams to give you the
design concept.
Trust me, three pieces SF steel, a receiver, draw bar with ball, you're
done.

On second thought it looks a bit complicated especially since I don't

THAT is a good idea! I would have considered that if I had your

This interests me. Can you send pics? Maybe I should just weld up my
own.

I found hitches for my w123 on the market were cheasy and only
mounted
to
the floor of the trunk. I made my own with two flat plates of steel
sandwiched between the bumper mounts and the body with a piece of
heavy
duty 1.5" channel iron running across to each of them for a support
for
a 2
inch receiver that will be fastened to a plate bolted through the
floor
when I get a chance to finish it.

German hitch won't fit unless your car is euro. I had a euro 123
wagon,
small bumpers, and sourced a used euro hitch for it. Euro hitch
attaches
at bumper points, US-spec cars have different bumper attach points,
so
euro
hitch won't fit unless you also get euro bumpers and convert your
car.

Hi Dimitri,
As everyone says, your 240 will not have any problem hauling around
a
light, I say again, light trailer. When I was looking for trailer
hitches for my daughter's Volvo 240DL wagon, I came across a couple
of
european style receiver hitches. They are nice in that when you are
not towing, the ball is removable and therefore is unable to scape
copious amounts of skin from your shins. You can also mount a bike
rack or small cargo platform if you desire.
I've looked, and I don't seem to be able to find any on-line,
although
I KNOW that I've seen w123 sedans in Germany with that setup.
Best,
Jon
I agree, a euro hitch would be desirable. Might try fleabay.de, or
find a listing of german junkyards. A german equivalent to
car-part.com would be nice.
