Not nearly low enoughI has achieved 8-9 cm drops...
It will be lower when I turn it over. And even lower when I put stuff in it.. Woo.Not nearly low enough
Torsion beamcould u not cut them 45deg angled ends off the main beam and reweld em on vertically to get the axle at highest point hence trailer sits at lowest position?
or is that some sorta torsion bar trailing arm suspension in it?
Torsion... But that does mean we get progressive lows with the more stuff we lob in there lol... Which means I have to tow lots of things all the time.could u not cut them 45deg angled ends off the main beam and reweld em on vertically to get the axle at highest point hence trailer sits at lowest position?

Its 45 up as we speak. Which means the suspension still works which is quite nice I suppose. Yeah I will leave it as is... Should be fine I rekon.perhaps lengthen or make that swinging angled arm bit adjustable so as it's pointing 45deg up, lengthen it to lower the ride height, although that'd prob change the leverage so it sags more.
If i could I wouldJust bolt it above the a frame rather than below lol
I want it to be useable... It would need to be fixed axle for that low. Pissed off I bloody binned my micra axle nowJustlift body off, notch body, fit body over axle. Boom.
Lol no that's restingLol is it sat on top of the arch?

It's all good, it's no worse really than the original setup. Actually, theres mote thread engagement than before with 3 nuts, and chris has gone from M10 originally up to M12 fasteners nowHave you considered the bolts and the flex they'll give, pack the gap out or something? Looks to me like the axle has the opportunity to shift. Want you to be safe man
I was really worried about it and was going to get @Enuo to make some spacers. But in reality I updated from a 10mm to a 12mm higher tensile strength bolts. I don't thing the originals were all that hardcore but I am using 8.8 now. And used the extra nuts to stop the movement as best as possible. When I have a welder I will make an extra bracket and basically reproduce the original design but on the new axle side used. I won't be hauling much heavy with this setup but we shall see. I may hookup a go pro and see what movement there is.Have you considered the bolts and the flex they'll give, pack the gap out or something? Looks to me like the axle has the opportunity to shift.

Well don't... You disgust me. The reality is that all I need to do is this setup but weld a bar like the original setup, so two bars, on up top and one below, on both wheel sides. This will have the strength of the original plus more strength. In reality it was a bit pants before because the angle of the trailer meant that there was no correct loading on the axle so now it's level we are all good.That's all cool man. Just thought I'd ask anyway
Its not the bolt size that phase me its the void but you can add spacers like you say
Even blocks of wood would do
Lol already thinking about it jen only issue is that it's galvanised so painting will be hard n remove it's protection.Need to match up the wheels and get with the battleship paint now
Cause the lady deserves comfort Paul lol. We however do not lol.nice pic with Bethan
how come she has the nice blue seat compared to urs?
Cause the lady deserves comfort Paul lol. We however do not lol.
The fibre seat is lighter and wider, with no cushioning just how I want it. My arse can feel what the cars doing
How about NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Well don't... You disgust me.

Pfff 2 youHow about NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At least you have plans to sort it all out, even though you need to sort yourself out first with that badmanz attitude
In that case, skip the paint, go with battleship wrap insteadLol already thinking about it jen only issue is that it's galvanised so painting will be hard n remove it's protection.
Ur mean... I am nothing but nice 2 uHow about NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are bloody amazing jen.... I did not think of thatIn that case, skip the paint, go with battleship wrap instead

Its all liesUr mean... I am nothing but nice 2 u
Well you know. Praise for that which is deserved.Shucks you

@Clodo guesses layshaft was the issue. Which she needs to expand on.
