They look the same but there are 2 different sizes. Wonder what the bigger ones like Bjorn have, fit!

Yes, they need a 1-3/4" gap to fit, the medium towbar is 1-1/4".
We ran a therad on this a while back and nobody found the missing link here, so in order to have a working towbar, my (and Robert's) solution is to mill them.
Beltfed, Austin Aviation, on ebay sells these "universal" couplings...

I got mine from Beltfed. In the listing they said they were for the "large" tow bar. Made sence to me, I will just have mine turned down to fit.
