Cool Getting hitched?

Anobody know where I might get my hands on a used hitch for my FC?
I'm looking at a tire trailer but I can't afford a new hitch and the trailer at one time and it seems a little pathetic to have another trailer (I'm storing somebody elses trailer) in my yard with no means to pull them....

Thanks,
Cory

Just buy the hitch now and use the trailer you're storing. Tell the guy " Hey; if you want me to store your trailer then I get to use it".

The other trailer is much larger and just a little too Clampit to be hauling around behind a sportscar IYKWIM.

this is all I could find. It might be worth buying a new one if you plan on towing for a while.

sorry; I don't think any of those work on 7s. They do have them for other mazdas though.

Surely someone out there must have found something that fits. I've been wondering about this too.

Well, I wanted the same thing. I wanted it for a tire trailer and a bike hitch. I went to a local welding shop. They had a hitch off of a SUV. Then they cut it to fit my car. They then welded it to the tow hitchs.

Cost me $100. When I searched and called and looked every where. Nobody made a bolt up trailer hitch that could be a reciever. They all had a ball on it that could not come off. That is the last thing I wanted. A damn ball. Check out my website for pictures.

IOW, "I have just what you need, and I'm not using it.....but you can't have it".

I have one, uh one that I took off. It isn't in the best of condition (little rust where it sat near the muffs)...but besides that it works fine. I don't or more or likely don't know where the hardware is if you need it. If you desperatly need it than I can probably find it for you....PM me sometime and I guess we can see what happens
