Just check some of your local steel fabricators - they should be able to
weld you up something with steel stock on hand.

Take them the bus and the hitch ball you want to use.

-OR-

I have a similar hitch on my CR-V. Different receiver size I think -
smaller than most other receivers. (the hole that the hitch would slide
into). You could check with NAPA. They can order many different sizes.

Take care.
