I have a Thule Parkway 4-bike hitch mount carrier (Model 956) that I bought on Amazon. My problem is that the receiver holes are about 2 inches too far from the assembly and are a tad too small for 1/2" hitch pins. It works fine now, I just feel that the rack would be more sturdy if it can go farther into the receiver , and I would also like to use my 1/2" hitch lock rather than needed to bring out a socket wrench to put it on and take it off. The pre-drilled holes fit an M12 receiver bolt.
Basically, I want to know how to find somewhere that can drill new 1/2" holes into my bike rack assembly. What should I look up in the phone book? Can they do this at Hardware stores? I have a very basic drill which cannot fit a 1/2" bit, so doing it myself is out of the question. I am in Philadelphia PA if it helps.
Thanks!!
