I took the plate and attached it with clamps to the hitch box.
I can get in the required 10 bolts.
I am going to drill and tap the holes so were it will be close to getting on nuts I won't have to worry. Also, lock-tite the bolts/screws
In thinking what you said about welding, after bolting on, I am going to take it to the shop and just spot weld the plate also.
That should work, so if I ever have to take the plate off, I just have to grind the spot welds.
That will work.
Thanks
