Lock Pins that Fit Blue Ox Base Plate and Tow Bar

Question

Question:

I want to replace the two pins that attach the BX7420 to my BX2232 Base Plate. They need to be 1/2inch diameter and have a minimum 3inch span distance. Im only interested in the type like your Item # e98881. NOT interested in all the other styles which I can find millions of. Do you have a product that meets these specs?

We have a lock kit that works with Blue Ox tow bars and base plate kits like what you have with the part # BX88359. This will replace the pins of the # BX7420 and lock it to your base plate kit part # BX2232.
