Anybody got any idea where I can get the new style combined NATO jaw and
50mm ball hitch and who makes it?

It looks like a NATO jaw with the 50mm ball mounted on the top - I have only
ever seen one picture of it and have searched high and low for a supplier -
there was one on ebay a while ago but I was outbid.

Any offers please?

I spent the best part of 30 minutes trying to find the chaps business
card - to no avail I'm afraid. You can continue your hunt by
contacting Peak And Dukeries Land Rover Club though. I took the pics
at the ARC National last year when P&D hosted the event at Matlock.

I believe it's one of their members selling them (nearly got one
miself actually).

ooh, nice. Mind you, on my big trailer, the NATO hitch has to line up with
the bumper of the disco (which it does by means of a monster attachment I
made for the DB-style hitch which I also made), and that'd get the ball much
too high for normal trailers, apart from military ones converted to ball
hitch, I guess.

Looks good but most NATO hitch trailers have the hitch at crossmember
level and most 50mm ball trailers have it at least a foot lower so how
useful is it actually going to be in practice?
