measure from the rear subframe mounting to the ball, if it's much more than 8", then it's a van

The one you have on eBay looks like a van one to me. It's almost identical to the one my father collected from someone in your suburb years ago. (Quite possibly that person was you.)

Andrew,

Is that a new part?
Does it clear the van tank?
How does it bolt on? Subframe?

Cheers,

It is s/hand (we got it blasted and repainted)
It was fitted and made for a sedan (not van)
