I'm thinking about the possibility of installing a homemade hitch receiver on my bug to accomodate a hitch-mount bike carrier. I know it won't suffice for actually towing a trailer or anything, but I don't want to pay $100 or more for a class 1 hitch if a simple length of square tube stock will work just as well. I already have the carrier and a hitch on another vehicle, and this would give me the option of hauling my bike on the bug from time to time.
Can anyone offer any advice on whether or not this will work? It seems that a length of square tubing bolted underneath and drilled to accept the hitch pin should do nicely. I'm still at stock ride height so clearance shouldn't be an issue. Am I overlooking anything?
