We are still happily using a Bulldog major stabilizer on our caravan, if you have only got the long leaf stabilizer itself then you will need the additional bracket part that attaches behind the towball and is bolted on, plus the clamped on part that attaches to the A-frame of your caravan and receives the leaf part of the stabilizer that you have, plus the bar to push it down into the 'engaged' position.  

To be honest you may be cheaper to buy a new one than buy all the separate parts and if you buy the same as you already have then you will have a spare incase at anytime you need to replace the leaf spring part itself. the Bulldog type will probably be much cheaper than the Alko one if you shop around, they are also quick and cheap to trasfere between caravans if ever you come to change with most models.

i forgot to mention that the a-frame bit is attatched on ( the bit the bar lies in? lol) so it looks like we only need the tow ball thingy bit, cheers.

hi , if i've read your op correctly this is what you need to complete your bulldog set up, 

 they're running between £10 & £15 on fleabay. they can be fitted either left or right hand mount and attach behind the tow ball ( you may well need slightly longer bolts too)
