We do not have a video or photos of a completed installation of the Buyers Products Hitch Plate for Pintle Mounting # 3371809030B. My contact at Buyers Products said this item is only intended for professional installation by an experienced welder and so they do not provide written instructions. He also stated that the hitch plate can be bolted on initially to hold it in place while it is fully welded.
