The manual milling machine was looking for something to build, so decided to build a receiver hitch for the Bolt.
We don't need a hitch very often, so didn't want to pack the extra weight of a steel 2" hitch, with a listed weight of 38 pounds. The 1-1/4" Drawtite model is 22 pounds. What I have come up with keys into the stock aluminum impact bumper, and only weighs 4 pounds, including the bolts. In the process of machining a couple of body to bumper reinforcement brackets, that will probably add another pound. As it is now, I can jump on it with my 195 pound frame, and it doesn't flex.
Will post more pics as I make more progress.
