Any way to picture what you're trying to do? I'm not able to visualize it.

Is there a technical name?

Probably but I don’t know. They were in a box of surplus extras that come with certain hitches. Got ‘em free.

 

[bobbywalter]

I could have.
I prefer the real ones because the tabs on those are so soft it's easy to hand form while under something while holding heavy parts up with my legs.

a plus while stopping at the camper place was showing my claustrophobic wiffie the miniature crappers in campers. she ain't going campin' anytime soon
