Richard......the bolt spacings on the Nato hitch is 85mm across and 35mm top to bottom (from center of bolt holes to center of bolt holes).
I am using M10 x 80 12.9 grade allen bolt. Unsure of thread pitch.
You need to measure the thickness of your rear cross member (X mm) so that i can get the bolt of the correct length. Thickness of the Nato hitch is 40mm, back plate will be either 8mm or 10mm. So length of bolt will be 40 + X + 10 + 20 (nut)...

Nato Hitch
I think we may have to drill new holes onsight, I will bring a drill and bits
Re bolt length I would say 80mm
The 4 smalls holes are M12 x 1.75, the other 2 are bigger approx 17mm ??
as follows, hitch 40 + bumper 2+ captive nuts already on bumper 12+ back plate 10 + nuts 10 = 74 so 80 mm bolt length should have a a bit of margin.
spacing seems different to the existing holes maybe someone can shed some light on them but pics below to make it a little clearer, and a pic of the wheels, spare is in black the other 4 are silver, tread depth on the other 4 is close to the spare but bear in mind the side wall damage on a couple of them, spacers are 30 mm I think.

Richard , the pads you've taken out are the wrong ones not the calipers, the new pad in the photo is correct for the caliper in the photo but you will need a pin and spring kit to fit them, the pads you've taken out are 110 rear pads (late model) AFAIAA.

PS my ninety arrived with exactly the same setup ie wrong pads in the back when it was purchased a couple of years ago.

This is the crappy diagram I made up 6 or 7 years ago when I wanted a backplate with captive nuts welded on it making up to suit my tank guard and nato hitch. He made one for me and one for Tim and they both fitted so the numbers must be something like right.

Thanks Mathew, got the calipers out of Daves skip today, he confirmed what you said, right calipers wrong pads all sorted now.
Paul thank you for that Nato hitch drawing, much appreciated.

I wouldn't recommend just drilling holes in the cross member and bolting on the nato, you need to make sure there are tubes inside to prevent it crushing either when you tighten it up or when you make a recovery, both of which will compromise safety.

5/4 of people admit that they’re bad with fractions.

Some people also weld huge thick spreader plates on the other side...

Sounds like one of the 2 above.
It sounds like one of the 2 above, thanks for the help )
Is the fluid level sensor normaly closed or open ? ie can I short it out to see if this is the issue.
Mathew is the shuttle due to me bleeding the rear right before the rear left which is what I did, and how does one reset it if this is the case.
NB its too dam cold to check now i will do checks tomorrow after work )
