Chop it off with a gas axe & put an Aussie one on. You might get NSW inspectors raise their eyebrows at that one.
Fix it once & do it proper.

Are you sure that they are still legal, I thought in NSW they were slowly replaced with the new size.

Dot, If I were you I would just get a new 2" ball from the link that Jon posted. It may cost a little more but being new it will be the approved type. Most of the old 2" balls were 2 piece and had a small shank from memory and used to flop around in the towbar and work loose.

Please note that if you do get a 2" one that it might not fit in your towbar?
Is the hole in it 1 inch?
