Chickity Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 + considerably better engine/ground clearance. You win. Offical tow-vehicle can be the Dgysam. At least until Chris inevitably decides to build/modify something for the purpose... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EURON8 Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 axle welding weirded me out.I would've thought normal practice would be to scuff some material off the stub so it fits in Ye thats what I would have thought. Looks like a potential weak point on an otherwise bangin trailer. My oldman turns them down on the lathe aswell to fit inside axle tube. But what the point i buying bigger stronger axles if your just going to turn them down. The way i have done it is strong as. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Just chucking it out there but why wouldn't you buy a bigger axle tube?? I'm still fuckin envoius of your sweet sweet trailer though and can't wait to see Stevens 808/RX7/both on this as you haul it behind your DOHC Hiace..

EURON8 Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 5mm box section Yes once its got a deck ill be testing how easy the seven will get on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EURON8 Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 Ok, started putting deck on on the weekend. Heres the remaining pics i have before i took it home from where i built it. Front tire is quite close to guard, as when weight is on the trailer it will move backward. Boss didnt look well enough into the running gear i had to use when he was instructing me so it ended up a little wrong. Will redrill axle guide holes and move it back or redo some of it later. Will see once we've had a car on it. Already got plans and ideas for the next one which ill build and sell this one. So big! Got bill from trailer company. Steel and Galv came to $1200 incl GST. WE already had all the running gear from a while back so thats all its really cost us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EURON8 Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Deck is down. Gonna put some more down for more strength. Managed to put a screw through the light wire at the back. Van has priority at the moment so trailer can wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaMpylobacter Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 they come with the brake kit. youcan buy them seperately from trailer suppliers. the coils are usually to allow for a little movement, and I'v eheard of people doing that for extra in case of needing to reflare the ends.

tortron Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 coil is so the tube has a bit of movement - wont workharden (as quickly) on soething that is going to see alot of vibrations probably why all the petrol lines, brake lines, oil lines on my morrie has them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EURON8 Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 Nah wes sorry, wont be ready. only got bit left to do but van is taking all spare time. Plus theres tests and insurence etc to suss first. Coil in break line was mainly cause it was easier to attach it at each end when i had the extra movement and all the reasons and such above.
