Can you mount it up-side down? You could also use the either hitch bolt to
mount the top of the hook, and then drill a new hole in the hitch to
accodate the lower bolt(s) and an angle you feel would be more suitable. I
have two spare chrome two-bolt hooks, though shipping would probably cost
more than the hook is worth.
