Ok Gage apologies, bad english, Sportmans Kit, thats what I meant to say :oops:

How can you tell the years apart between a 46 or a 47 Kit in reality?
Ok Ive never seen one in person so thats why I ask.. :thinking:

I reckon you folks have been around them for so long you can tell. But what exactly can you look at to determine?

Check the Vin number. :lol: Other than that, I can't really tell. A lot of my knowledge about the KIT is in checking out friends KITs and talking with Grant. :thinking:

I think most of the stuff connecting the wheels to the frame on trailers looks home-made.

That's an interesting variation. Gage, do you know what's inside the tube, for a spring? My guess is a steel torsion bar, which would make it very similar to the current "Rondo" line from BPW (a major European trailer component maker).
