| Are these things safe? I don't want to rip my bug in two. Also, I'm running pre68 bumpers and have the adapter brackets. Will these hitches interfere? |

Not sure if that kind of hitch will work with those kind of bumpers on a later car.
But as for original application, yes they were fairly safe if they were installed right - they clamp onto the fork on either side of the tranny and won't rip the body in two! In fact VW used this photo for a couple years circa 1970 to promote their hitch. (Not that I'd think driving this car would be very fun loaded up as it is)

| The type of hitch attached around the tranny would work fine with a baja (minus rear bumper and back end for that matter obviously) then? |

might be a little radical, but this receiver hitch fit perfect between the extended stock bumper mounts brackets.

Nice work horse. Unfortunately somebody pantsed mine, so no back bumper, if not that would have been a good solution.
