So a few days ago I had done a search for where you all had bought your 7-pin wiring harness' and I went to Courtesyparts.com and I had gotten the 7-Pin OEM harness w/ connector, and I think in someones post I read on here - a Power brake jumper wire. Anyway - I got the kit on Friday...and I had no clue that I would NOT be getting a bracket to hold the trailer connector onto my hitch.
I called Lebrun Nissan (Dealer here) and They say they can't sell me JUST the bracket to hold the connector. It only comes With a Genuine Nissan Hitch. Well...I got my Hidden hitch class IV for $99 so I don't really want to spend a ton on another hitch for just the bracket.
Does anyone know where I could buy just the bracket...Sucks that Nissan made theirs into a special triangle shape with just the 2 holes on the bottom, and the bracket being kinda special too.
There's an ok pic of the bracket..all I need to be ready to go now. Thanks for any help.

hmm...I might have answered my own question...Looks like that bracket is welded directly to their hitch. super.

there's nothing special about it - cut out a 2.5" hole in a piece of steel, remove the plastic housing from the plug, put through hole, mark the mounting holes, drill out those holes and you are mounted. you will then need to weld the steel onto your hitch. - but if you are doing all of this - just cork the hole in your bumper and spare yourself ripping off the bracket. i ripped off two before i drilled into the bumper. takes maybe 45 minutes and a 2.5" holesaw bit, and a drill bit. this is an EASY mod.

i have the OEM hitch and i have since just hammered the bracket up flush to the hitch

just do the relocation mod into your bumper much better place for it

oh...never even heard of this mod. I will look to see if anyone has a writeup for it. I'm pretty sure I have all the tooling to do that right here.

 

[Irongrave]

when its done it looks like this couldnt find the write up on how to do it

 

[Anos]

well look at that...That is Very clean and nicely done. Suppose I can just do that. the OEM 7pin (Shown there) has a bunch of un-necessary plastic on the back ill have to shave off to stick it right through the hole. But that's an easy thing to do.

Use a 2.5" holesaw and you won't need to trim the plug at all: http://www.clubfrontier.org/forums/f23/hitch-plug-relocated-bumper-30484/

as i stated above - the plastic cover will pop into two pieces, stick the plug through the hole and all the plastice will go back on and look 100% normal

Just ground mine off this past Friday. Will sell if you still want it, but I'm doing the bumper mount as well. Did it to the older LE and it was very easy to do with proper tools.

Nah thanks though - I just went today and got the Hole saw and desecrated my bumper Come out fine - a little crooked but I could care less - As long as it holds the plugs I am happy. Thanks again for the help here
