What is Recommended Way to Place Holes for Installing Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit

Question:

Hello, Please, could you tell me or show me the layout and sizing for the hole placement for the 3inch x 3inch trailer hitch hinge. Im having a custom trailer tongue made and the manufacturer would like to drill the holes before he has to weld the tube steel to the mounting plate. Thank you very much for your assistance! Thanks!

That's not an ideal way to install the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit part # FHDPB330301 actually. If you check out the install video I attached you'll see how the recommended way to install the hinge. Unfortunately you really need to have the hinge and the tongue present together to install this the right way since the clearances are pretty tight. You'll want to fit the hinge to the tongue pieces and then use a punch to mark where to drill pilot holes and then enlarge as needed.
