I have ordered a new solid shank hayman reese 300mm from Opposite lock Newcastle

Narara Trailers and Towbars, in West Gosford.

The guy at the shop said the angled ones (like the original) have a greater towing capacity. Can't remember the capacity of the one I got, but it is greater than the weight of the horse float + 2 horses.

I started off with an adjustable one from ARB, but did not like the idea of horizontal bolts.

The OE one I have has a long drop like yours but also has a gusset welded on it.
