Description
Overview:
This towbar socket adaptor plate (MPN 761 578) is a mounting plate used when retrofitting or converting towing electrics on vehicles equipped with an older S-Type bracket layout. It provides a neat way to install either a standard 7-pin socket or a modern 13-pin socket while reusing the existing S-Type bolt pattern already on the vehicle or bracket. The plate helps installers move from twin 7-pin (12N/12S) arrangements to a single 13-pin setup, or to refresh a 7-pin installation, without extensive changes to the towbar mounting hardware. Suitable for use on cars, vans, 4x4s and light commercials, as well as vehicles that regularly tow caravans, trailers or plant. Designed for trade fitters and workshops needing a straightforward, durable mounting solution compatible with common UK and Euro towing socket patterns.
Key Features:
- Adaptor plate for mounting a 7-pin (12N) or 13-pin towing socket to an existing S-Type bracket
- Supports S-Type conversion from twin 7-pin (N/S) to a single 13-pin installation
- Pre-drilled hole pattern to accept common UK 7-pin and Euro 13-pin sockets
- Allows reuse of existing bolt centres to minimise drilling and modification
- Rigid plate construction suitable for road-going towing applications
- Helps achieve a tidy, secure socket position on towbar neck plates or bumper brackets
- Suitable for use across trailers, caravans, plant transporters and light commercial fleets
- Practical solution for repairs, upgrades or standardising mixed fleets to 13-pin wiring
Typical Applications:
Used on towbar electrical installations where a vehicle has an S-Type mounting bracket and the installer needs to fit either a single 7-pin socket or convert to a single 13-pin socket. Common on cars, vans and 4x4s that tow caravans or general-purpose trailers, as well as plant and equipment trailers in commercial fleets. Ideal for retrofit, replacement of damaged brackets, or upgrading older twin-socket layouts to a single 13-pin connection.
