Hi Guys ,long story but i need a 2",(about 50.8mm) Tow Ball,apparently its a USA standard ball,anyone know who may sell them in Oz.? Used one would be OK as its a one off tow.TIA

Can't you just change the tow hitch?, a standard type is about $30 from most car stores. At least that way you can hook up any trailer.

whats wrong with using the australian standard 50mm ball that every servo and auto parts joint sells?

[HarryHoudini]

Thanks for the replies but the 50mm ball is too small,jumps around everywhere.Its a dedicated trailer,i can't change anything on it, long story but i just need a 2" ball,i can get one from the States but i have to have it by next W/end or it will be going on the back of a truck.

A trailer hitch is relativily easy to replace, some can be welded in place, So what's the long story that you need a 2" ball?

Perhaps try ARK as they are on of australia's main distributor for trailer parts and accessories.

2" is 50.8mm..

If its jumping around on a 50mm Its going to jump around on a 50.8mm..

Thanks again for all the replies,i'll follow up on those links buzbox.

Thats a point Bluesuzy,i tried the 50mm and its at a dangerous level the amount of movement,the owner of the trailer told me it 2" USA standard but its been sitting on a property for 20 years so it may be 2+ inches,more dramas.
