MC 9 Trailer Hitch
« on: February 21, 2022, 03:15:37 AM »
Hello BCM Community.

I am in need of a trailer hitch for my 1982 MC9. I am leaving on a trip next month (March) and need this before I go. I am in the Tampa Bay area.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Need you to state what you are going to pull/ haul to give us an idea of tongue weight. Also future plans for hauling, as large trailers and tongue weight call for much more elaborate hitches.

Jeff -

No "off the shelf" hitches are available for your MC-9, they must be custom fabricated.

Find a competent machine shop with a certified welder on staff, they'll fix you right up.

Do a Google Images search for "MCI Trailer Hitch" and you'll see lots of pics showing how it's done.

FWIW & HTH. . .   ;)

RJ,

I am looking for on that may no longer be needed or someone that may have one for sale. I have done many searches and need plans to give to my welder. The guy at bus parts is not being any help.

That site is well-known for taking your money and not producing what he promised.

Have you watched Yvan's video about his hitch fabrication? Share it with your welder?
