Is There a Mounting Bracket that Will Fit a European 13-Way Round Trailer Connector

Question:

Hi there, I had purchased draw-tight hitch 75371 but I just realized I had forgotten mount bracket. The electric hitch connector kit Ill use is the one sold by BMW and it is european 13 round socket. Can you recommend which mounting bracket I should pick up?

All of the trailer connector mounting brackets we carry are made to accept the standard sizes used in the states so I cannot guarantee that any of them will work with a European 13-Way trailer connector.

The most likely candidate is the Mounting Bracket for Pollak 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector, # PK12711U. I went out to the warehouse and measured one of these brackets so you can compare that to the European trailer connector.

The center hole diameter is 2 inches. There are 4 sets of slotted hole. Each hole is 0.347 inches long by 0.178 inches wide. The 2 holes in one set are 1/2 inch apart on center.

From one set of holes to another set up and down or side to side, the two closest holes are 1-5/8 inches apart on center. The other two are 2-3/8 inches apart on center. I have made a picture for you showing these measurements.
