tried to measure and I got
3 3/8" and 1 3/4" center to center of the bolts. The width seems to be
ok and I got 12 mm bolts in there (filling up the holes), but for the
"vertical distance" I got only 10 mm bolts in, otherwise the holes
wouldn't have "lined up".
Now I am not towing anything (Jenny, the '81 AC has enough to pull
herself) and I figured that the rack I have on occasionally, only has
downward weight.

Hope I added enough confusion :-)

PS.
the fellow form the website (I mentioned earlier) answered when I
inquired about the distance of the mounting holes: The mounting holes
on the hitch is 3.5" across the and 2" up and down center

PS. Ron in 2005 mentioned that he found parts form a Landrover which
would fit but I was never able to find anything.
