Question:

So I purchased the BX Aventa Towbar to mate to my RM EZ5 Mounting Plates. As you recommended, I used the BX88185 Adapter. The only problem is the holes in the BX88185 and the RM EZ5 are 3/4inch diameter. However, the pin that it says to reuse from the Aventa Towbar are only 1/2. As a result, there is way too much play in the connection from the tow bar to the mounting plate. Where can I get equal quality 3/4inch pins with the locking ring on them to replace the existing 1/2inch pins that are too small?

Helpful Expert Reply:

What you are looking for is the part # RM-910008-00. This is the pin that will slide through the adapter part # BX88185 and the EZ5 base plate kit you have. The play would then be eliminated.
