Well damn. It seems I have hit a snag. I was wondering why my hardware package appeared to have been opened. Now I know. Someone borrowed some hardware and didn't replace it with the correct stuff.

The M10 130 bolts were replaced with 120's
The M10 50 bolts were replaced with 40's

I have not tried to install the hitch yet, but I assume my hardware is too short.

Here's the kicker - minimally the 50's need a 16mm head to fit into the recessed "bolt head trap" in the tow carrier. It looks like the standard is a 17mm head. It may not matter for the 130's - not sure yet.

I've checked McMaster, Grainger and Fastenal and have come-up empty so far.......

What's more rare than a unicorn? Unicorn nuts!
