How long do you want the socket? I can provide you the bare socket, with strength ring welded on and pin - price depends on the length.

Failing that you can make one yourself - its 65mm square box, 5mm wall.

Thanks - I will ask my engineer what length - he didn't want to weld that part up

Thanks - talked to Bestbars - they won't sell the receiver :cry: interested in looking at the tongue though - if not right could get TonyB to turn it into a snatch hook bar or maybe even

How dodgy is that recovery hook? Noone should let anyone on a run with something like that.
