tow hitch
sorry if this is in the wrong place
i have a 50mm tow ball on my car but my trailor has a 2" tow hitch and the noise is driving me crazy
is there any way to shim up the gap or is it a case of save up for a new hitch??
if so where to look for one
many thanks

New hitch, cheap from towsure
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

You shouldn't mix the 2" and 50mm ball/couplings! 50mm balls have a flat spot on the top and the 2" is usually totally spherical
with no flat top.
Try these guys if you need a 2" ball. http://www.watling-towbars.co.uk
or the ever useful Ebay!

Further to my above post...
you can buy a new 2" ball to fit the standard holes on your towbar for £20 but it will not be Type Approved.

A trailer with 2" hitch must be over 45 years old, in the UK caravan manufacturers changed to 50mm in 1963. !
