Westfalia introduced a solid swan neck, replacing the hollow style used upto then. The legs were also narrowed. The reason for the changes was to allow the hitch to pull more weight - now 1200kg. The tag design also changed with black and silver aluminium screen print replacing the brass etched style previously used. ![]() VW-TR-59 Westfalia Hitch 1965-1966 design In 1967 the design changed slightly again with the chassis mounts being joined together on the inside leg. ![]() VW-TR-59 Westfalia Hitch 1967 on design |
