Is Mounting Hardware for Reese Replacement Head Available Separately
Question:
Can you buy the Hexagon washer kit from Reese that adjusts your hitch angle on your Item RP58112. I need the bolts, nuts, washers and the hexagon washers.

Hi Wayne; I wish I could tell you the mounting hardware for the # RP58112 was available separately. Unfortunately, Reese only offers this if you purchase the full replacement head. This happens fairly often with Reese parts as they update or discontinue a WDH. They also haven't had a lot of replacement parts available since the parent company changed.
Instead of spending the money for the head I recommend upgrading your WDH to a system that is reliable with parts readily available. Equal-i-zer is widely considered to be the best and I highly recommend them. We have the following available based on tongue weight:
-Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37040ET (tongue weight up to 400 lbs)
-Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37060ET (tongue weight range 200 - 600 lbs)
-Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37100ET (600 lbs - 1,000 lbs)
-Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37120ET (800 lbs - 1,200 lbs)
-Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37140ET (1,000 lbs - 1,400 lbs)
-Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ64FR (1,200 lbs - 1,600 lbs)
If you decide to switch to a different system and want something a little less high-end I would be happy to make a recommendation if you can let me know the loaded tongue weight of your setup.
