Tow bar/ball/hitch
Discussion
I am looking for one of these:-

I am sure someone is going to suggest ACE, but I have purchased one already from there, which will be returned today. Their tow bars are branded as 2" balls - but are actually 51mm. That extra mm is stopping the hitch fitting properly.
Any ideas?

Go to the car accessory souq on the Deira side of shingdaga. Honk your horn and then point and the boys will run out.
(Take a set of vernier calipers, if if you don't have any work out the circumference and take a piece of string.)
Nice one - will try and find.(Take a set of vernier calipers, if if you don't have any work out the circumference and take a piece of string.)
I have verniers - digital ones as well!
ACE is an American outfit, selling american products, and the standard towball size in USA is 2 inch, which is 50.8 MM.
You need a European tow hitch, which will be 50 MM.
Not sure offhand where to source in UAE, but if you get really stuck give me a shout, we import trailer stuff from both USA and Europe for mounting our machines on trailers.
Just remembered the name of one supplier in Dubai, seatrail, website www.seatrail.ae phone No 04 8803222, they make boat trailers and you will be able to get a hitch from them

I have had this problem in the past - I got a 50mm ball from a sailing and boat shop on SZR. unfortunately I cannot remember the name - if you are heading towards Dubai it is/was just after junction 3 Al Manara, on the Al Quoz side. Come off by the VW showroom and come back towards the junction.
ramy 4x4 in deira has them, 60dhs for the ball itself and they have a variety of drop hitches depending how low you need to go.
all the 4x4 accessory shops should stock them, easiest to get to for you would be robbies motorsport. head towards times square and turn right at gargash mercedes, first warehouse on the right after the slip road ends.
