| Nov 29, 2017 at 17:48 | comment | added | waitwhat | Well it's pretty hard to calculate how much of the force there will be.. I want to do a towing hitch in my car - so i'm just taking an average 1500kg car, doubling that weight for safety measures, and i get about 30kN. I just need to calculate if two M8 bolts would hold occasional towing. Original towing hitch was actually bolted on the center of the car with two M8 bolts(bolted to frame, and then the frame was bolted to the car on both sides of the car), so i guess bolts hold. But to be on the safe side, i still need to be sure. | |
