How To Eliminate the Sloppy Fit Between Receiver and Ball Mount

Very impressive work you did there. I have used duct tape as well. Joe your not alone.

Good write up. Here in Michigan rust mitigates the free-play. Your way is better.

Shimmed Another Ball Mount

I shimmed my 2nd ball mount.
This time I used 316 stainless steel for the shims.

Looks good. What bolting hardware are you using?

Hey Joe.
I'm using 8-32 unc (.375 long) flat head cap screws (grade 5).

I'm not using a nylock or nut on the inside of the 2x2 ball mount.
I just tap the hole and assemble using the flat head screws and blue loctite.

Thanks! I don't have a tap set, so I'll use a nylon nut. Thanks for this write up.

That will work too Joe.

Really slick fix. If you leave it in all the time, I wonder if wrapping it with some stainless wire would do the same thing with a lot less work.

I wish I had your time, patience, money, and of course... skills.
