Hi guys
Just wondering if there are different sizes of the Hayman Reece hitch pin.
My new landcruiser is currently in having some things done on it. After I pick it up tomorrow after work I'm straight off to pick up the trailer (which is also in getting a checkover).
Here is my problem. The hitch receiver and trailer mount are both Toyota oem, but the hitch pin is missing. I had the wife pick up a new Hayman Reece hitch pin yesterday thinking they were all the same size (length), but now I'm not too sure (& without the car I can't go out and
check).
The pin is approx 85mm from its tip to the beginning of the curve, meaning the outside diameter of the hitch receiver would need to be approx 65mm for the pin to go through and then have the r-clip still fit. I would have thought (although I had never thought about it til now!) that the receiver was wider than this and hence the pin longer.
Looking on the net, I can only find the one length hitch pin, although the lockable pins talk about fitting adjustable widths.
Have I boo boo'd?
