The install hardware that the Curt hitch part # 13424 that you referenced uses is M12-1.75 x 30mm. If you were looking for replace install hardware for this hitch we have that with the part number # RHK. On the product page for this you'd need to enter your hitch part number and then select Curt as the manufacturer for the hitch and you'd be set.
