Champion mate thanks for that, I will look into all of the above cheers! I was hoping someone on here was a particular expert in the field, I will see how i go and I'll get back to you if theres any issue! Tom

Outstanding, good luck with the new one. Tom

Will be something I will look into, it's thankfully after adding the ply it stiffened up hugely, I have ran some tests so far essentially overloading the front end to see how it coped and so far no signs of weakness/cracking in the welds. Thankfully the maximum weight of the load this will take...

Yeah the coupling was a bit of a ball ache in all honesty, wanted to reuse the existing coupling and just add in the draw bar and just extend the brake rod, but was easier said than done as it turned out. It was originally slotted holes for U Bolts to clamp the draw bar to the chassis but we...
