Exhaust Trunk Mounting






Exhaust Trunk Mounting
Where can I buy one of those trailer hitch receivers that bolts through the bottom of the trunk?

I drive a '93 honda accord EX, that is lowered, and has a larger aftermarket exhaust, so the regular bolt on hitch receivers won't fit it.

I took it to a well known hitch shop around here torklift (in fact the only one I can find), and they said that the way it can be done is taking out the spare tire, installing a few small reinforcement bars, and bolting it through the bottom of the trunk. He says I'd be able to tow 1000 pounds like that.

Only problem is they want about $300 for the job, and that doesn't even include the wiring. I think $300 is way too much to pay for a couple pieces of metal bolted to the car.

I'm sure that if I found one of those trunk mount receivers that I'd be able to bolt it on, and wire it up myself, however I've been calling all over, and scouring the net but can't find one.

Anyone have any advice how I can find one of these?

Do your insurance man a favor and pay the 300 bucks. it's a lot cheaper than the lawsuit you will have if the trailer hitch rips out in traffic.

What the 300 bucks covers at the hitch shop is their experience, workmanship, and liability insurance if their work should fail and someone is injured or killed.
