Tow ball gubbins

Just out of curiosity. The bracket for the stabiliser bar is the rearmost piece fitted to the towbar mounting plate. The shape of it and the casting pushes it out a couple of mm from the bottom of the mounting plate. Is that okay as is, or would it be better served with a spacer block between it and the mounting plate?

i would put a spacer block in and then retighten.

Cos I didn't realise how shoddily the original towball had been fitted, until I went to put this one on. And by then the place was about shut.

It's a guaranteed fact of life. You will need parts desperately five minutes before the place is due to shut.
