SKU: 18D-DO35-TP-WF-7/8-KIT
Product Summary
Product Description
When changing over to a multi-vehicle setup or refurbishing an existing off-road configuration, authenticity and precise engineering are non-negotiable. The Cruisemaster DO35 Tow Pin Kit provides an instantaneous 360-degree rotational and high-articulation link between your tow car and trailer hitch. Its robust construction ensures full compatibility across current and older generational versions of the legendary DO35 series hitches.
This boxed kit comes complete with a precision-matched C-Spanner to streamline secure torque adjustments alongside a heavy-duty, protective polyurethane Pin Cover designed to seal out grit, dust, and corrosive moisture while your trailer is unhitched. Surface wear is actively minimised via specialised Zn-Ni and e-coat corrosion treatments, assuring smooth drop-on actions under heavy off-road conditions.
Key Features
- Multi-Vehicle Ready: Simplifies syncing multiple tow rigs to a single DO35-equipped caravan or camper trailer.
- High Articulation Performance: Enables restricted-free handling over unmaintained tracks and sharp off-road washouts.
- Premium Corrosion Armour: Coated in a high-grade combination of Zinc-Nickel (Zn-Ni) and e-coat for peak salt and mud resistance.
- Comprehensive Tooling: Packaged with an exact-fit C-Spanner for straightforward home garage installation and roadside updates.
- Complete Shielding: Supplied with a heavy-duty, contour-fit pin cover protecting mating surfaces from environmental dust entry.
- Universal Legacy Fitment: Backward compatible across legacy variants and current premium DO35 V2, V3, and V3Plus assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Will this tow pin kit fit standard Australian towbar tongues?
A: Yes. The 7/8-inch (22mm) shank design is specifically sized to fit directly into standard Australian ball-mount tow bar tongues that traditionally accept a standard 50mm towball.
Q: Do I need any special tools to install this replacement pin?
A: No. The kit includes the exact custom-fit Cruisemaster C-Spanner required to tighten and secure the specialised locknut to your vehicle’s tow bar platform.
Q: Is this kit compatible with standard American or USA tow receivers?
A: No. Standard American alloy hitch mounts generally require a thicker 1-inch (25.4mm) pin shank. Ensure your platform matches the 7/8″ configuration prior to torque setup.
Q: How should I maintain the tow pin surface to ensure long-term durability?
A: Mating surfaces must be kept completely clear of sand and road grime. Keep surfaces lightly lubricated with a multi-purpose chassis grease and fit the included cap shield when unhitched.
