question Is this a Matador Tow Hitch ?

[Ian L]

Is this a Matador Tow Hitch / chassis ? if not what is it ? its much larger than the K5 or QL hitch.

[eddy8men]

the t16 and mk2 universal carriers use this hitch and spring , my wot6 also had that setup, as far as I know it's a fairly standard fitting

Matador one has no hollow towing hook , but a full casted hook.

[N.O.S.]

Maurice - I have a couple of the hollow hooks, they were part of a winch spade arrangement made up for a Scammell Mountaineer. I haven't used them yet as am wary of their load ability - any idea what they would have been fitted to?

[Maurice]

NOS , if thet have a round opening push bar , than probably canadian , some are ford marked (exeption is some DAF1s have round as well , but different angle ) if they have flattened push bar`s than British , but are fitted sometimes to canadian Carriers by British workshops . They are also used on Morris commercials, Fordsons , etc.
