I mentioned a rollback trailer I am bringing back to life and one of the least items is making a receiving hole for the two side located pins.
There is a 1.25 wide 1.75 tall and 1.75 deep hole that look like it was plated with a steel plate that probably just had a hole in it. The plates are long gone and I’m thinking that a bushing might be better than just a hole in a steel plate.
So im looking for a bushing that has a 5/8” Id steel sleeve in the middle and 1.25 od outer steel sleeve that I can make a mount for.
Alternatively, maybe I get a 5/8” id pipe, and pour some sort of bushing into the hole in the trailer and locate the pipe in it.
Make sense? What would work the best???
a few pictures as unclear as my idea the pin is offset here but is just out of position:
