Hello Josh, thanks for reaching out. Sorry to hear the weld nuts broke, that is never fun. The Curt # C13068 hitch for the 2021 Honda uses 7/16" grade 8 bolts. The spacer should be a 1/4" x 7/8" x 2-1/4" square-hole spacer. The spacers and bolts are not something we carry individually unfortunately. You should be able to find the bolts and nuts at a local hardware store, just make sure they are grade 8. The spacer might be a bit more tricky to find, but I have seen them at big hardware stores before. The # RP3022 spacer may work but you might have to cut it down to size or enlarge the access holes to get it to fit.

As you can see by the photo I have edited for you, the Draw-Tite and Curt hitches available for your Odyssey are all pretty similarly designed. When we installed both hitches on a 2013 Odyssey, we found that the Curt #C13068 had about a 1/2 inch…

Hi Raymond! I have a couple options you may be interested in, but that's quite a conundrum. I do know there are no 4 bike racks that can hold a spare tire as well as the bikes, but you may be able to use a cargo carrier, like the 24x60 etrailer…
