Does anyone have a proven solution for a  towbar and its attachment to the nose gear?

  

 I have the factory's wheel fairing  installed.

Hi Svein,

 I have a towbar and fittings attached to the nose  gear.

 I had two pieces of  approx 1.5 inch aluminium  rod recessed on one side with a hole through the center. These are attached to  the nose wheel axle with the existing bolt, and the fairing cut to allow them to  protrude slightly. The tow bar is made of steel tube with a piece of tube  at each side of the attachment end sized to match the recess size in  the aluminium collars. The towbar is in two parts which slide together to enable  the attachment, then pinned to retain.

  

 Hard to describe but if you want a photo, please  let me know.

Hi Geoff,

  

 Interesting.  I understand how you have done  it, I believe, but if you have a photo on file, I would appreciate very much to  see it.

  

 How thick, approximately, did you make the "bottom"  of the recess in order to get sufficient stiffness against bending the  fittings?

  

 Regards,

 Svein

What Duncan ?  You haven't committed that blasphemous act and fitted  a nose wheel have you ?
