Subject:Re: Need towball or receiver for SA tow hitch

Interesting differences. David's measurement of his hitch adapter is markably different from the one on the website that Karl referenced below. Which one is correct for the SA hitch? I bought a standard bolt on tow ball and it is immediately apparent that the holes are too far apart. Here's what I gathered:

3 3/8"  or  85.725mm (from Karl's link)
3 3/4"  or  95.500mm (David's meas.)

1 3/4"  or  44.450mm (from Karl's link)
2 1/4"  or  57.150mm (my calculation)
                57.125mm (David's measure
                58.128mm                 ments)

Regards,

BenT
