Hayman reece style towbar adaptors - do they exist?

I will soon be fitting a towbar to my Gen1 liberty wagon. Unfortunately the only option is a standard 2 bolt tongue style bar.

What I would like to be able to do is bolt up an adaptor to this that will accept the smaller hayman reece style tongues that the subaextreme bars use. This way i can fit a tow hook into it when im heading offroad, and the rest of the time have a tow ball on a tongue that drops down quite low. (the back of my car is pretty high)

Does anyone know if something like this exists?

Dane, haven't seen anything that adapts a 2" square mount to a tongue mount, but it wouldn't be too hard to fabricate. Shouldn't be too expensive either - talk to an engineering shop about it...

are the 2"square tongues / tow hooks available seperately though? Or would i have to have them fabricated aswell

Yeah, hayman reese has them, I think maybe at supercheap too, they are a replaceable item like the tongue iteself.
