Description
Overview:
The TR234 1/2" Spacer Block with 90 mm hole centres is a solid steel block designed for standard 50 mm tow balls on two-bolt flange towbars. Fitted between the towbar mounting plate and the tow ball, it brings the ball outward by 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) to improve clearance and coupling access. This helps when a trailer hitch has a bulky head, when stabiliser hitches are used, or where the vehicle bumper or bodywork sits close to the tow ball. The block is made for everyday towing on cars, 4x4s, vans, and light commercial vehicles hauling plant, garden, or utility trailers. Durable construction and a corrosion-resistant finish make it a dependable addition to a towing setup. Part number: TR234.
Key Features:
- Extends the tow ball by 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) for extra clearance and easier hitching
- 90 mm hole centres to suit the common UK two-bolt flange mounting pattern
- For use with standard 50 mm tow balls and compatible flange plates
- Made from robust steel with a corrosion-resistant finish for long service life
- Simple fitment: installs between the tow ball and towbar face using existing bolt pattern
- Provides a flat, load-spreading interface for secure clamping, avoiding makeshift spacers
- Helps accommodate stabiliser hitches and couplings with larger heads or overhangs
- Useful where bumpers, steps, or accessories sit close to the coupling area
- Suitable for general towing on-road and light off-road conditions when used as intended
- Compact rectangular block with through-holes aligned to standard flange hardware
Typical Applications:
Creating extra space for stabiliser hitches, coupling handles, and overrun brake housings; improving clearance from bumpers or bodywork; fine-tuning towball position on flange towbars; supporting plant, utility, and garden trailer towing where a slight outward offset (12.7 mm) aids connection and reduces fouling.
