Does anyone know how deep the "pin" part is? IE: The part that goes through the rack.

It is 3 inches long and fits the rack that is 2 inches deep and locks behind with a locking pin

According to the owners manual the unit is 7.825" deep. I don't know if that includes the posts. I use banana jacks which adds another inch, but even so it is less deep than anything else in my rack.

From the back/inside edge of the upright post to middle of the "pinhole" (the hole that houses the bolt to connect the hitch and rack) is about 10 3/4". It should fit if you only need 9" of clearance.

It is a slight bend the full length of the rack. It adds only about half an inch. The track where the rack fits has a slight angle to accomodate the bend.

My push-pins stick out of the back about 1/16 of an inch. By subtraction, the board itself (with cardboard backing) seems to be about 5/16 of an inch thick (just over 1/4).

3 and 3/8 inches closed. It is not difficult to remove the rack when not in use.

Hi....and I have no clue as I have never done that. This rack is very well made and I have had no problems with it. Sorry I couldn't help.

There are not mounting holes on the rack. There is a slot/channel that runs the entire length of the rack that slides over the screw head. Holes should be drilled about 1/2" in on each side from where you want each end of the rack to be, but you don't need to be too exact. You take the black plastic end caps off, slide one cap over a screw, slide the rack onto that end cap, then slide the opposite cap on. I'm a bit weak in my right hand, so I found it was helpful to use a rubber mallet to tap the second end cap in, holding the opposite cap. It closed up the gap on both sides.

The bottom half of the rack, for rod butts, has 1 - 7/16" diameter holes. Almost 1 1/2 ". The top half for rod shafts has an opening of 3/4" max.

Yes. There is a problem in that the unthreaded shoulder diameter and thread are of center (too much runout) so it is hard to get the pin installed without cross threading the bolt. I basically had to re tapp the thread after every use, until I found a different pin with more of a step between the threaded and pilot diameters. I would not recommend this rack for this reason and the other bolts also had issues. I know someone who bought the swagman, which is basically th sametging, and is more satisfied.

A magnet will not attach to the rack so that points to stainless. Please tell me if there are further reports of chrome rather than stainless!

I am thinking of doing the same thing. I assume you did this for easy assemble/disassembly which is my problem with limited space? Did it work with 7/32" pins and would you recommend it?

Hi Donna. From the center of the hole in your hitch where the pin goes through to the back of the upright vertical bar that holds the arms is 7 3/4". You'll have to measure your hitch from the center of the pin hole out 7 3/4" and see if that clears your tire. Hope this helps.

so sorry, I'm away from home but will be there in a couple of weeks and can measure the rack then if you have not had another answer.

Pin will not fit. The hole for the pin on your receiver is slightly bigger than the one on the rack. The wobble bolt has a small sleeve that will go through the receiver hole but not the one on the rack. When you tighten, the sleeve pushes the rack against the receiver thus wobble free. That said, you can got to Home Depot and get a 3 1/2 in hex bolt with a 3/4 in nut and lock washer to sub. It won't be wobble free though.
