Hi all. I have a small trailer that I’d like to use with my S3. The tow ball as it’s fitted now is about 13 cm too high for my wee trailer. I found an old drop plate in my box of bits and then got to searching forums on how to fit it. One of the kits suggested it was 2 x 16mm and 2 x 10mm bolts. Now, none of the holes drilled in the drop plate I have matches the 16 and 10mm holes. I’ve circled what I assume to be the correct 10mm holes in red.
Then I started looking for a new drop plate and the pictures I’ve found (1 example attached for ease) and the holes on these don’t match either. So then I started to think it was the higher 10mm holes (blue), but surely not because the tub fixings plates would get in the way.
Does anyone have a drop plate fitted and enlighten me please? Many thanks in advance.
PS since posting this I’ve found another thread suggesting indeed a spacer so the thing can attach to the blue 10mm holes. So, I’ll delve into this first. Sorry for the bother.
