Description

My U-Haul class III / IV 2" hitch which fits a 2017 Ram 1500 came with a rubber 6-sided bolt cover being the bolt protrudes slightly above the bumper. After 1 year this cap came so brittle it fell apart in my hand so I decided to make a replacement. You should be able to scale this to fit any 6 sided bolt as well. Printed at 75 percent infill so if I stepped on it by accident, it might survive. *Note, I had to print at 102 percent, at 100 percent is was the exact size of the bolt (didn't think about that when designing). At 102 percent the cap was a tiny bit loose so I decided instead of gluing it, I put a layer of electrical tape around the bolt to shim it up.*
