What size are the screws &amp; nuts to attach the ball to the cradle

Not exactly sure they are about 1/4" x 1/2L. If you get the Ram Diamond Base with Ball, it has the screws with it and is specifically designed to attach to the GPS cradle.

i takes the smaller shaft balls and the length is standard the base is only about 5/8 on the ball mount so any 1 7/8 ball should work

Be carefull - it has to be standard balls size, the cheap ones recommended by Amazon will not work

go get a 2" ball...you will need two large wrenches to change it out or take it to a rv center and they will...no real problems

The width of the connecting part of plate to the base is 1 1/2" by 1 7/16 inches. Overall dimensions 2 3/8" by 1 7/16" Maybe something similar in size and shape might work. I know the plate for the dolica ball head doesn't work. It is 1 3/4" wide.

Hi Kim, I'm not sure. I was able to cross to this one because I had a number on my old cradle. Sorry I couldn't help you. Have a good day!

The ball itself is about 2 inches. The surrounding metal is closer to 2.25 inches.

I am not sure of the size of the balls. I had bought it for a friend in another state. Sorry!!

If you're talking about towing with the actual "ball" you will need to look at your trailer. it will usually either be 1-7/8" or 2" ball but make sure to get the 7/8" shank (threaded part). If you're talking about the Ball Mount. it should be supplied with one. When I bought mine, it did not come with it. So I bought one at home depot. If you need more info, just lemme know! I have this setup on my civic and im also an auto tech. -Dan

i'm sorry. I have no idea. Bought it several months ago for the cradle needed for our grandson. He is now in a regular crib.

There are 2 rivets that attach the clamp to the ball socket. There also appears to be a very small allen screw (which I couldn't remove) that may hold the ball socket assembly together. Hope this helps.John

Yes. this cradle has a ball on the back. I have a clamp that goes around my handlebar with a ball on it. you will also need a linkage that clamps on balls on both ends. then you can get many different mounts that will work on the same ball.

I don't remember the exact size, but take the screw to a Lowe's or Home Depot and look for T-Nuts - I'm almost positive that is what is being used. They should be in the nuts/bolts/screws aisle in one of the drawer chests opposite the bins of loose bolts, or you MIGHT find them on the wall above the bins.

I have a 2" ball and it fits, It should work with 2 5/16" ball because the socket is 5/16"larger and the design makes it a solid fit once it is drawn in place. It is good quality for the price.

The inside diameter is 14/16 of an inch. The overall diameter is 1and 2/16 of an inch. I had to use my old nut with the new ball/lever since the nut that came with the new was smaller than my existing one. Hopefully you can save your old nut and just insert the new ball/lever assy. Hope this helps. The plastic ball is larger than what you can find in most stores (i.e. Home Depot, Lowes), which is what I needed most since the old lever rusted away.

The part that presses on the end of the bolt is 1/2" thick. If you can only fit 3/8", you can probably use an angle grinder to shave it down until it fits. As an alternative, if you're going to be replacing the ball joint, you can cut off some of the bolt end to get some more clearance.
