The swan to flange converter offers a practical solution for individuals seeking to adapt older towing accessories to modern swan-neck towbars. Specifically designed to clamp securely onto a standard swan-neck towball, this converter provides a robust flange equipped with two generously sized bolt holes. These holes are precisely configured to match the dimensions and layout of the older, more traditional towball mounting flange format.
This clever design effectively bridges the gap between newer and older towing systems, enabling users to seamlessly attach a variety of equipment, most notably older-style bike racks, to vehicles equipped with swan-neck towbars. The converter eliminates the need to replace cherished or perfectly functional accessories simply due to incompatible towball configurations.
It’s important to note that the swan to flange converter is rated for a maximum load of 100Kg. This weight limit should be strictly observed to ensure safe and reliable operation. Furthermore, this particular converter is not designed or intended for use with towing stabilisers. Attempting to combine it with a towing stabiliser could compromise its structural integrity and overall safety.
The complete kit contains all the necessary components for a straightforward installation. It includes the main mounting bracket, the outer casting that provides the structural support, and a clamshell mechanism for secure clamping onto the swan-neck towball.
Flexibility is a key feature of the outer casting’s design. While typically shown with the clamp bolt positioned at the rear, the casting can be oriented with the bolt facing either direction, allowing for installation in the most convenient configuration for your specific vehicle and accessory setup. This adaptability ensures ease of use and a clean, unobtrusive fit.
The swan to flange converter has a total weight of 4kg. This moderate weight ensures that it is substantial enough to provide a stable and secure connection without adding excessive bulk to your vehicle’s towing system.
