| Another Sankey trailer build |
|
Started my trailer at long last.
Wheel adapters:

The original wheel bearing covers were pretty knackered, so had some new ones made and the adapters machined out to take them:

Got them to sit flush by machining out a section at the back of the studs:

Are you planning to use the trailer to sleep in/camp in or is it a container for all the camping equipment?
My trailer is the former. Still a work in progress too.

Slight hijack, but kinda relevant - Ray, could the draw bar be altered to either be hinged or removable pretty easily? I'd love a sankey for the ever increasing amount of crap we take camping but I don't think I'd get one in my garage due to all my tools, equipment and motorbike!
A dog is truly man's best friend, Don't believe me? Well lock your wife and your dog in the boot of your car and 2 hours later open it and see who's happy to see you

Ray, that's what I meant really, a 4 wheeled chassis and adding maybe 4' or 5' to the Overall length of the standard version might open up all kinds of possibilities. On a mission to find the perfect Pork Pie. Just Found it (I think)..(Yes I have)
