Towing Hitch: OEM Volvo: Seeking Adapter

Hello all. I own a 1995 940 wagon. It came with the Volvo OEM towing hitch. However, as you all probably know the hitch size (inside diameter) is not standard, but rather is Volvo's own.

I am seeking an adapter that will transform the Volvo OEM hitch into a US standard 1.25". I want to be able to use hitch-mounted bike racks, etc. such as those manufactured by Yakimaand Thule. I would rather not replace this hitch since it is there for the using.

Any and all suggestions are much appreciated.

I have worn out google on this one.

Looks like a spare Volvo insert needs to be cut then welded to a standard hitch insert itself cut just right to mate at the weld. Risky weld unless you are a hotshot blacksmith.
