Hello, I got my VX with 90K on it, it has alot of chasis rust, I've cleaned alot of it. I removed the hitch rather quickly when I bought it because it was TOTALLY rusted out as seen in the pictures. I don't have a van anymore so now I need to pull a small trailor a 150 miles round trip later this week. It's a light trailor. I am going to paint this hitch in the morning. The cladding on the car looks like it was never modified, it seems to fit in the factory groves.
I have these 17mm head bolts that look good and I'm going to run them in and out with torque in the morning, looks like I have to removed the rear lower cladding to install new carriage bolts and spacers with a "fish hook"?? "Grade 8" 7/16 1.5inch bolts "square hole spacers" to prevent the carrage bolts from spinning when you torque it on?
Does anyone recognize the type of hitch in my pictures? I can't find any marking on it of any kind. It seem fairly light, large receiver and double receiver hole locks, not sure why. PLEASE help me do this right on monday!! I have to pull some cargo for work Wednesday!!! Will removal of rear cladding be the worst of it? THANKS! Erik
grrrr. having trouble figuring out how to add pics!!!
