The hitch appears to be fitted to a BPW chassis so one horizontal fixing bolt & one vertical bolt unlike Al-ko chassis which uses the 2 horizontal bolt holes. So no problem with actual hitch fitting but being fitted to a BPW chassis might be what is causing lock not to fit. Is lock fouling vertical or horizontal bolt?

I didn't know that there were different fixing locations on the Alko hitch for different chassis', I thought they all bolted on the same way with two horizontally opposed nuts and bolts. I take it then that the single rear vertical bolt on the BPW chassis functions exactly the same as the Alko chassis' horizontal fixing regarding the retaining of the draw bar?  If this is the case then my first post is totally incorrect and apologise for this mis-information but it's been an educational lesson for me anyway and amazing how we never stop learning.

just a thought some al-ko hitches are not designed to fit BPW hitch bars.possibly why the bolt is missing and as said could cause faulty braking on the caravan.

This item is not suitable for a 45mm shaft.

May not be suitable for use with overrun devices which can revolve above 25° or BPW overruns fitted with gas strut handbrakes from 2001 model year onwards.
