Has anybody seen a conversion changing the hitch from nato to ball or pin keeping the overrun system working (my old trailer is getting ratty). I've seen a good deal on a Brookhouse so I'm thinking it could be the right choice. Derek

Why not just bolt a NATO hitch on?
£120 for a quick sale the text I've just got back says. He paid £275 so he says but I note Anchor sell them at £175 now, such is life!
Still a Nato hitch.
It's the same as the one at the bottom of the page.

too much faffing about changing when I use t'other trailer Lee's pal just set me right on the Brockhouse its way too tall to use with the Disco to get the hitch level it would need to be on the step pity really ideal for the Daf tho' Derek

I can show you pictures of an adaptor for the disco which fits the normal sliding hitch thingy and puts a nato at the correct height. In fact, I don't need it now but I'm not selling the hitch.
That is, of course, if you have the normal sliding hitch thingy.
will do Martin put t'kettle on and I'll get the kit kats. Derek

I'd be interested to see how you did it ( take out the no spam baby to reply) but I've got the normal flat plate with 4 pair of bolt 'oles similar to

but with massive side plates, trust me after removing the bugger to replace the boot floor it is not coming off again in a hurry. Lee sold me a corker when I had the RRC which I could wind up and down to suit . I did consider mounting a caravan style hitch to the trailer but at the height of the frame its really too much without serious fabrication to create a bridge plus I need to get her home first ( I should never write this stuff down cos I just had an *Idea*) easiest just to look out for a Sankey no rush the old small trailer is not full of scrap yet.

The "normal" height-adjustable one is 2 vertical plates with holes about 2" apart and a thing which has the ball mounted to it and that secures to the bit which is attached to the vehicle with one (or later, and better, 2) 3/4" pin.
The fits instead of the moveable part of that, with 2 pins, and extends up behind the bumper.
