second the duct tape. 'bout two wraps around worked for me. you could also try a strip of foam or weather stripping with adhesive on one side of the male portion to snug it up. both tape and stripping work well and when they get too beaten up you just pull it off and re do it. cheap and disposable. :thumb:
My 'receiver' has a nut welded to the underside about 3" from the end. When you tighten the bolt (in the nut), all 'slop' stops. Very effective.
Re ball sizes, I've never heard of a 2" ball, only 1-7/8" and 50mm. There are some really cool draw-bar connectors available, that do both sizes (properly), by twisting the handle, half a turn.
:roll: good grief. Have you folks forgotten the two most important rules in life? If it doesn't move, and it should, use WD-40. If it moves, and it shouldn't, use duct tape! :mrgreen:
Too much work on the Rover for this summer and still tons of things to do.
I like the idea of duct tape rather than take the trailer hitch off and have a nut welded on it.
