F***ing boat - my tale of woe.

How thick would a spacer need to be so that the handbrake energy retainer bracket sits a couple of mm above that cross member ?

The spacers are commercially available, there is one fitted on my Ifor Williams 2T  trailer, they are usually aluminium, so weight is not an issue, but raising the hitch height maybe an issue if it is more them 10 or 15 mm.

Here is a pic from my ifor, which uses the same hitch, and you can clearly see the spacer, which looks like 20mm

Alas, this wouldn't have been an option given I would have had to raise it by a good 75mm and the brake rods would have been in contact  / rubbing with the cross member.

After alot of researching alternative couplings I was no further forward, so out came the grinder and the energy bracket has had a make over.
