Default trailer hitch cover

I just installed a hitch to pull my utility trailer around. It's one the the small equalizer type slide in deals with a 1 1/4" square receiver. I've seen the slide in hitch covers for the larger hitchs, but not the small ones like mine. Anyone seen the small ones??

Thanks rnbenoit, they are Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3, 225/45/17. Here's a couple of better pictures...

Although a little hard to see, I think you have a hitch similar to mine. Where did you get the cover? I'm told there are some neat billet units available for the small receiver, but I haven't been able to find them as yet.

wagonmaster, the cover came with the hitch, it's a Hidden Hitch. I haven't seen any billet covers but I haven't look either. I'll see what I can find in billet, if you find any let me know.

wagonmaster, I just did a search and you can just about get anything you want for a hitch cover, there are even adapters to use 2" hitch covers on the 1 1/4" receivers. Personally, I like mine black, that's the reason I got a Hidden Hitch in the first place, I did not want to draw attention to it.

If you don't find one before hand, attend a swap meet. There's usually a hitch dealer there. See if they have any or can make one to fit your receiver.

Thanks for the input. Although not a "Hidden Hitch" brand, it doesn't show any more than the one pictured. I, too, was going to go with the "blackout" look, but heard of a nice billet type unit and just wanted to check it out.
I've seen the hitch stuff at many a swap meet, but have never seen the 1 1/4" stuff. Don't want one of those huge things like on some of the large receivers. I think it would be too much on the little PT and small hitch.
Thanks to all
Joe
