new trailer to get ready

Post  RAB on Sat Jan 23, 2010 7:50 pm

Managed to get a little bargain yesterday, bought this trailer yesterday, will carry up to a ton, just needs a couple new tyres, so overall its a bargain, im going to remove the sides and give it a lick of paint, the overall length is 8ft, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320478392823&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

were flipping it upside down on Saturaday to allow me to put the new 750kg axles on and to paint the bottom, i have left the head and tail board as i cant decide which one to remove, i have to remove 1 as i may end up running my water pump of the engine which means a long belt, heres it so far though , i have removed the old ply wood, and going to fit a thicker llayer of ply followed by 3mm checkered steel plate

Ryan just remember that you'll have to beef up the bottom frame of the trailer to make up for losing the top end, to stop it bowing.

also check the rating of the tyres to be sure they can carry what the trailer can carry.

looks good though Very Happy
