Figured out all my problems Can get a 50mm drop if needed by mounting the coupling to the underside of the drawbar Measured some stuff Mounted the lights Made 1 ramp, have exhausted my scrap steel, so need to get some angle iron for that, and to go around all the wooden edges. Think I will mount the ramps so they slide out from under the deck on one of the sides That centre section of tread plate could in theory be detachable and make 1 long ramp, but I think I'm gona try just the short ones and tilt and see how much of a pain loading 2 bikes is before making a long one Otherwise I will make it winch tilt

It oxidises when exposed to air Which is part of why sealed for life things are sealed for life

It's on a lot of an angle Utes tow bar is lowered to fit under the 2nd gen tray. Will be better with the original tray and bar on it. It's about 340mm to centre of ball as is, explorer is more like 440 and sits nice Not much I can do about using it with the wingroad, unless I put 13s on it, but I'm pretty sure it's brit 5" 5 stud so not much options there. maybe some yank stuff we dont have here anyways Gona put a bar on the rav this week, will see where that ends up Anyway that came up because I'm measuring for ramps On tilt I can use 2 x 550mm long ramps and load a bike or a 4 Wheeler or ride on But if I want to load 2 bikes, then using the tilt becomes a bit tricky, but I can use a single 1.1m long ramp 550x2 =1.1m. Funny how that works out. (unless I lower the trailer on 13s) *chucked the wingroad towbar on and its actually higher than the utes, so height might be ok. if need be i will cut the drawbar off and space it lower, theres no structure int he trailer so no worries

anyone know the size of a ma70 supra roof? width between the drip rails

I'm want to add reenforcing to them, but then again I can lift the trailer by each guard, so it's probably fine A keen eye will notice that the trailer is actually warped in every direction and bananad in as many. Axle is lined up with the drawbar tho so it's gone. The deck might help straighten that back out

Welded the guards on.

Also stripped the paint off. Zinc paint doesn't really work if it's on top of 5 previous layers. The old green stuff was probably lead tho, so should have kept that. Made that bar to hook some angle. Iron over to attach ramps. Proba ly made it too low cos I forgot about the thickness of the deck till after it was on lol. But the ramp probably wants some framing so it doesn't be d, so it probably works out

Cut rusted end off and replaced with rubbish from under my tangelo tree

did you clean the clutch plates up when you had it apart? Probably its just the tractor nature of a HD, but every sticking/dragging clutch and hard to get into neutral while running i have had has been sticky black shit on the clutch plates, and the occasional worn cage fingers that i just file flat again and send

Granny shifting, not double clutching like you should

6mm is within Morris minor suspension geometry factory tolerance. Pretty lol seeing the massive spacers on the Friday job ones

You could upgrade it with a morris 8 engine!

Already sold my unused bits, only had a couple meters of free turning 8mm

Got some scaffold gravity lock things, will weld on the sides of the chassis nicely $2 each too, cheaper than trailer parts

Cut some stuff, didnt thi k ahead enough to get screws as I'm making it up as I go along

what did the nz army have them for, sidecar dispatch riders?

Scratch those guards, I got some steel tandem guards for $20, cut them down and used the offcut to double up the top section. A bit lighter which is better for this trailer Had some boards left over from the house, so those will make the deck, not quite enough, so will rip down that good bit of ply and then cover that with remaining tread plate on the strips where the bikes will go

bought a shampoo vac a while ago. game changer for cleaning gross cars wanted a steam cleaner as well, but out of budget just to try it. Got a used wall paper steamer for $5. Works mint, the wide fitting on the end just unscrews, yet to check if anything else screws into it, but its pretty decent spray for cleaning in corners and stuff. Would recommend

Might have got stuck rings from sitting, or it's just rooted

Can you Honda lego some more power out of it?

I have had less/ a grain of carbon cause a leak. Probably want to get those tidied up Man it's cool how the tank transformers open like that Is that one valve white, or is it the light reflecting. Looks sooty as anyways, not steam cleaned like a M series combustion chamber looks after running with water

hey i found one http://motorbookworld.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=3304
