Question:
I am trying to figure out which parts I need to buy for a broken weld nut. It appears I need 1/2 inch carriage bolts and a 1/2 inch leader, which I can find. But I dont know where to find the carriage plate/washer for it and which nuts to buy. Thanks.

Hey Cory, If you can access an open end of the frame where the weld nut broke off you could fishwire a new carriage bolt in place of the weldnut. Otherwise you may have to weld the hitch on.
You would need 1/2 inch diameter fishwire like part # C58400.

Yes. I know I need the fishwire. I said I can find the bolts and fishwire. I'm trying to find the carriage plate/washer that would go with it that is shown in the etrailer video saying how to fix my issue.
