Almost off topic....
.... are the bolt holes on the bottom of the cross member threaded or just clean holes. (ie. on the RN hitch, do the bolts facing upwards thread into the cross member or do they require a nut on the other side)?
My crossmember is a replacement and was dipped in galvy. I looked at it and the hole appears like it should be threaded but is all coated with Zinc. I am not sure if the zinc gobbed up the threads or if they are not any to begin with.
