You will need to use a lock made by Bell for your Bell bike carrier if it requires a threaded hitch bolt. The issue is that bike rack manufacturers give their locks unique threads so they are not interchangeable with other racks. While it is possible that some carriers will be threaded the same I have no way to test any of the ones we have with a Bell bike carrier, so I have no way to confirm if a theaded pin like the Replacement Threaded Hitch Bolt for SportRack Bike Racks and Cargo Carriers # 05002400000 will work or not.

Instead you could use the Quiet Hitch # RM-061-125. This will be used to wedge between the hitch receiver and bike rack to take up play and eliminate movement. I have also included a video on this product for you to look at.

Im looking for a threaded hitch bolt for a Bell Rightup 300. Bell hasnt been any help. The manual specifies a 1/2-13 x 4. Will this one work? Thanks!

Like Jason mentioned above, there's unfortunately not a way to know for sure if a hitch pin from another manufacturer will work (in all honesty there's a better chance it won't). Bike rack manufacturers make these threads unique so that only their own pins/locks work.

Drill it for a proper hitch pin. if you happen to lose the pin you are out of luck. This is because the Bell parts diagram and bill of material provides no information. Also web searches for the pin give inclusive results as evidenced by this thread.

Answer 1

We do not carry the Bell racks, so I could not test to see if it will fit those. However, I pulled the Sport Rack lock from our warehouse to check the threads. The threads are 1/2 inch coarse. The overall length of the bolt is 4 inches, and the…

According to Swagman, their #S64029 locking hitch pin uses a 1/2 inch coarse threaded bolt. We don't carry Bell bike racks, so I can't test it for you or guarantee fit.

I wouldn't recommend doing that, as it will reduce the structural integrity of the bumper. Most towing bumpers are only rated for 3500 lbs, and a trailer that would use a 2-5/16 ball is typically heavier than that. You'd want to use the…
