I need a 2" receiver hitch for a 1980 300SD (W116). I am interested in either purchasing one or in designing one. Let me know if you have one or any interest in securing one.

Fred

be surprised it such a hitch exists. the ones i have seen for benzes have a smaller box, i am pretty sure.

We do that all the time on a as needed basis. Don't have any specs or plans though. We usually take a hitch that has the 1 1/4" receiver, cut it off, and weld a 2" box on. People usually do it to accomodate bike racks and things. If you are doing it to haul a heavier load, make sure the structure of the hitch and car can take it. We caution people who are doing it even for bike racks that they may still cause damage if overloaded. There are adapters available that go into the smaller receivers and expand to the 2" one.
