trailer build

[deano59]

not too much to report as all i have done is almost fully weld the frame as it was only tacked in place b4 and start construction on the rear drop down door/ramp.
i had friend turn up some bushes and pins to use as hinges for the ramp just slowly collecting more bits as i go .
had a bit of a saga with the axles the company that made my last lot is not doing the 4 inch drop only 2 inch and only use small wheel bearings .
after chasing up and pulling my hair out i found a bloke that makes the 4 inch drop on a 50 mm axles with the big bearings but im getting jabbed on price but not much i can do about it as i want to get it on wheels and cant be arsed waiting for people to get back to me but dont something thats a pet hate of mine anyway the next few weekends are been taken up with racing commitments and a fair bit of travelling so things will slow down for a bit plus the fact i have a hip replacement thats been in there 23 yrs and building this trailer has aggravated it with all the climbing up on step ladders so i suspect once this is finished i will be going in and get it replaced with a new one , cant complain was told if i get 10 to 15 yrs out of it that would be considered a good run so 23 yrs and i havent played nice with it im not complaining ..

cheers dean
