You got a towbar on yours? You're welcome to take it for a spin.
It's getting there bit by bit, it really shows up how much I hate the colour of my car though.
All needs a wash before Bromley now.

Nice idea in theory but not very useful to me really. No security in it for a start.schuwolf wrote:Methinks a 800 pick up would look good Chris

Not currently legally possible. There is no category in the IVA test for Light Commercials converted from Passenger cars. Supposedly this oversight will be corrected 'sometime in the near future'.schuwolf wrote:Methinks a 800 pick up would look good Chris
When it is I'll be looking to persuade offspring to help me build the three axle one I photoshopped a while ago.
BUT ideally I would need a donor coupe (for the longer doors) as well as a saloon (and TWO saloons and one saloon or coupe for the three axle trailer) so I think that plan might be on the back burner for a while!

Been playing again today. Ordered a new bike rack from Towsure on Friday.
So got it fitted up after work this afternoon. Just need to paint the A frame again now as the stuff I used before was rubbish.

I've finally got around to getting the trailer weighed today.
920KG is what the local bridge says! That's pretty much full. So I have to assume it will go up a little.
I'm going to try and empty it soon and take it back as an idea of what I'm carrying weight wise.
Just as well I bought a better hitch than I needed, as well as having it braked. I'm well over the limit for being unbraked.

Between other things today I've unlowered the trailer today in a bid to avoid issues at shows. It's been catching things at the front lately.
This pic is a bit rubbish TBH, doesn't show the angle liked I'd hoped. The rear has definitely gone up a lot but the front needs to more.
This is with the jockey wheel on the floor to try and judge where it needs to be. Basically the front of the trailer/rear of the car need raising by an inch to get it looking level again. Any suggestions?

try a dropper plate, of coarse put it up, they're made to adjust the tow ball height, they will adjust it upto about 6".

I'm thinking along those lines but wherever I've read on the net advises against it.
My towbar has 2 sets of holes so I've going to do something with that somehow.
