Will Drilling Holes In The Buyers Hitch Plate Affect the Integrity Of the Plate?
Question:
Can I drill holes above the receiver hitch for pintle and still maintain integrity of the plate?
asked by: Hunter
Expert Reply:
While drilling holes in any hitch plate like the Buyers # 3371809060A will affect its integrity, I believe I have a solution for you. We do have the Hitch Plate # 3371809030B which already has the holes for a Pintle # 33710057 which also has a 2-5/16" ball. We also have the Buyers Bolt On Receiver in a 2" # 3371804055 or 2-1/2" # BP82FR tube. If you wanted to switch them out when needed
