ok found this ........
OK could some one tell me wth is the PCD is .;).or more to the point where it is so l can measure itQuote:
If you want to work out which wheels you have, Ford, Holden etc. here are some measurements.
PCD (pitch circle dia) Holden HT 4.25", Ford 4.5", Holden HQ 4.75", Toyota 6".
To work out Toyota is simple, just measure from centre of one stud to the centre of opposite stud.
As there are no opposites on 5 stud pattern, use the following.
measure from centre of one stud to the centre of next stud and multiply by 1.701 (measure in mm's and convert back to inches is the easiest way to do this)

could kill 2 birds with the one stone. As mentioned before the weak point A-frame join near front shackle. get some thick walled RHS welded and/or bolted under the existing side rails. Its a quick cheat to increase strength and clearance, continue with the heavy duty steel into the drawbar it,s all then king gee tuff and just comes down to making everything that you attach later secure. Recomend 50x50x3mm minimum go to 4 or 5mm things will get heavier. but make that call on how tuff you think it needs to be. A little over engineering is not always a bad thing.

Whats to explain, It's an off road hitch.
Brand isnt all that important.
Looks very similar to the one I picked up for Gav (Disco 300Tdi) a year or so ago for his trailer from Carac in Dandenong)
I recon they are a lot better than a tregg hitch for the fact that the bushes are easilly and cheaply replaced and also are all greasable so they shouldnt wear out too quick anyway.
One major point, I believe, is that your picture shows the thing incorrectly assembled - it should be joined with the two bolts so that the load on the weld joining the two bush tubes is in compression, and so that if this weld happened to fail the trailer would not be lost.
The other minor point is that I understand that to be legal, trailer connections have to be marked with their load rating - and I don't see that.

thanks guys:D
thanks john...thats really what is was thinking the "connection part"
