What 2 Inch Adapter Will Let Me Use my Yakima HookUp Bike Rack?

Question:

This is a picture of my Yakima bike rack hitch mount, could you help me identify it and determine which adapter and pin I need to go to a 2inch receiver?

That particular rack is the Yakima HookUp hitch rack, Yakima's original tray rack style. It was produced up until about 10 years ago, and has been discontinued.

I contacted Yakima directly because of that, and was informed that they have a workable replacement, but the original bolt has been discontinued. You can use the Replacement Mounting Hardware for Yakima Flip Side, DoubleDown and SwingDaddy, part # Y8890176.

To mount to a 2" hitch, you'll need an adapter like the Brophy 2" to 1-1/4" Hitch Reducer, part # HT02. This will modify your receiver to allow use of a 1-1/4" accessories.
