I got 2 pieces of metal cut from billet by an engineering shop which fitted
over the tow hitch like an 'no' in shape, and put a 19mm / 3/4" shackle
through the hole. I replaced all of the 6 bolts holding on the tow hitch
with grade 8 ones.

Here's a bad pic - sorry for the quality as I took it with my camera phone.
