legality of this trailer

[chrismac]

I've still got one of the old Indespension catalogues that include trailer building plans which even include a cutting list for the materials.

I have one of those too,

I wouldn't touch that with a barge pole.

4.5k£ no way.

They were brilliant. Haven't seen one for years.

I've got one with all the diagrams and dimensions on, it's in a cupboard somewhere.

It looks like the one he's selling is the mark II version or he's tarted it up quite a bit.

 

[Bobupndown]

That's what he's been doing for the last 2 months apparently, incase you wondered where he"d been

Got to admire his ingenuity, self taught by the looks but, ......the 2024 Darwin Awards contender for January goes to...

Cant really knock him, he is only trying to make a crust. No doubt he will learn very quickly its not going to be from making trailers.

if you ever make a trailer just go and photograph a few factory made ones and take a tape measure they get a bit pi.ssed off with you but its 2 late by then

Exactly, by coincidence I photographed this yesterday, it’s a lot simpler than the home built one…I’m guessing he may have had a cheap supply of 40mm box which is not ideal for job.

I am quite certain this gentleman has the prerequisite type approval applied for and in place for this scrap pile trailer and he is just waiting on the certificates arriving in the post

Ihope he doesn't have the same postman as us then. He may be waiting a long time.

[dieselsamurai]

im sure it will hold together fine ....

[Smallfry]

All that messing about too. Be easier just to take the side off and hoof it in.

Love that stack of box section offcuts holding the front of the bed up !

Just watched it. The owner / builder comes across as a total ********.

 

[wyn]

I'm sure there was a "do you know who i am" moment in there.

Turns out the trailer is 680KG so he can only carry 70KG in it.

 

[Justme]

So brake cables fitted but no working brakes.

Thats an offence straight off.
