Bloody Trailer
I knew it couldn't last!
After dropping the keel out succesfully last week it was time to concentrate on the trailer. Having already replaced the tow hitch and had a bit of welding done, the only bit left was the brakes. I thought they may need a repair, but after a quick look in the hub it was obvious it was terminal. two new braked indespension units are required. A nice round £200.00 for the pair. plus a load of grinding the old ones off plus welding a new supporting plate on.
Being an old type trailer where you have to flick a catch on the tow hitch prior to reversing they are on special order but Nottingham trailer spares were very helpful.
The boats already jacked up, wheels are off so a case of getting my head down tommorrow for some grinding. Joy!
