Re: Hack needed: Golf Trailer Hitch?

Post by Michael »

I've moved to Oregon - sold the house in Seattle to co-purchase with Rachel (spouse) her father's house & land. I need a trailer now, to transport used rail-road ties up to the property; they come in 8' and 11'. I need a trailer, now. My brother in law has one that I may borrow, but I still must solve the riddle of finding & attaching a trailer hitch to my '85 Golf. What might you suggest?

Or, you could get a class-1 from parts places, that bolts in between the towing loops.
Have a nice day.
