Re: Reciever Hitch bolts on 240 wagon 200 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be John Adams on  Sat May 26 16:12 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I assume that you are talking about a towing hitch.

I'm just having one fitted to may car, its a Volvo stamped Hayman Reese (Australian I think).

It uses 3 locating bolts either side into the chassis, and one BIG bolt thorough the chassis (each side). I had pointed out to me last weekend that you can get to the big bolts throught the boot / tailgate. Lift the storage lid, and on either side you'll see a hole in the metal with a bolt through it. THis corresponds with the big holes in the chassis.

I needed to get thiese big bolts, so I borrowed a genuine one from someone, and went to the local NutsNBolts, who had to order them in.

They are:

125mm long, hex head

14 mm diameter

2 mm thread pitch.

They only come with 40mm of thread, so I went to an engineering shop to get some more put on ('cause they need it). I guess they are now threaded to about an inch from the top of the bolt.

Good luck. Let me know if you want more detail.

The 5 wire should work fine.

John
