    They have those in my local motor factors/boyracer's bling emporium, in the towing accessories section.
    Don't remember seeing them in Halfords though. Is there a farm machinery accessories place near you? They would most likely have one.

        2nd hand or new? there's a new gold one on atm that looks okay. Does yours use 2 or 4 bolts to attach to the original hitch location?

          In the paperwork that came with mine it said to only be used with the four bolt towbar mounts.

          I'd advise checking on this, mine came from a trailer manufaturer, I can't remember the name, and don't have the paper work anymore. But I do remember it was about the £80 mark in 2005.

                I am and have, but your un named shop's a little too far for me to pop into...

                Thanks any way...

                Still not too happy about this 2 hole/4hole thing though, even if I do get a gold/yellow ####ive one.

                    Imagine you were cornering hard in your old Monaro, what would make you feel safer, each wheel was held on by two nuts or four?

                              Don't beat yourself up, it was an easy mistake.
