Sketches of my new trailer

Design & Construction of anything that's not a teardrop e.g. Grasshoppers or Sunspots

getting the frame sorted

Hi All, Well got some more done on the frame, getting the initial frame welded and squared up then I will add the additional braces and framing

This is the clearance I allowed for the ply and sikaflex sealer to sit in approx 14mm or 1/2 inch

coming along slowly, lots more welding and bracing to be done, also gotta weld up front section and sort out the angles reqd, then grinding, priming and painting. scored some good stuff today also, caravan 240 volt switchboard with circuit breakers, some interior halogen lights and external nite lights, clarion cd player/radio and all this was free, add that to the axle, rims and sliding window out of a bus, some latches and other bits and pieces all of which was free, amazing what can be scrounged when you put the feelers out, finally done for the nite and now sitting relaxing with a cold beer and pondering my next move towards completing the Bush Pig :twisted:
