Description
Overview:
Towbar Bumper Protector Black, Double 7-Pin Socket Mount (MPN 763 375) is a towbar-mounted protector with two integrated socket positions for 7-pin 12N and 12S electrics. It is installed between the towball and the towbar on flange-type towbar setups to help prevent scuffs and impacts to vehicle bumpers, especially modern plastic bumpers, when coupling or uncoupling trailers and caravans. The slotted socket mounts allow existing 7-pin sockets to be transferred across without rewiring, saving time during installation. Finished in black to match typical towbar hardware, it provides a stable platform for twin electrics and a protective barrier behind the towball. The protector measures 180 mm high (7.09 in) by 248 mm wide (9.76 in), with approximately 90 mm (3.54 in) of usable mounting space for the electrical sockets. Installation follows standard towball bolt specifications and torque settings as detailed below.
