afternoon si,

Taken some photos of the lock/hinges etc that you requested. They may not be that clear as the trailer is in bits at the bottom of my shed and i cant get to it very easy due to the sh*t weather.
Will post you more if you need them once it stops raining! :evil: :evil: :evil:

i hope that they help. the trailer is standing on it's end :? :lol:

 

[Cali_bay]

Thats great thanks. Shows the design clearly.

Would you be able to get me some dimesions for the U-brackets and the tongues (i.e. widths, thicknesses, hole positions and lengths), also size and thickness of lid angle and overall length and width. No rush.

Do you know if you can by the rack brackets anyware, I assume the rods are just ali or stainless tubes?

If you need any pop rivets for it let me know?

Many thanks,

Si

No i got it off the Dutch guy at Vanfest. If you know someone selling one i might be interested for a mate.

 

[marcher]

can you please let me know, are you using a standard exhuast on your bus.

Hi Marcher,

I've done a CAD drawing to save you having to do a sketch. Been rushed off my feet at work :lol:

Managed also to get hold of some brackets for the top rack.

Cheers,

Si

 

[marcher]

WOW, you have been a busy boy :shock: :shock: i will try and get you the dimesions tomorrow, do you want them in mm???

 

[Cali_bay]

mm's would be great.

Many thanks,

Si

Cali Bay, thanks for the offer but ive just ordered some from flea bay. Ive got a correct roof rack which i tracked down off a guy in Manchester (another long story) will get you all the measurements and photos you need after the weekend mate.
I didnt keep the original clasp/lock as it didnt have a key so ive just bought a replacement from the local trailer shop.

i knew i should have kept hold of that rack...! glad to know its gone to a good home didnt know it was you who had it off me.... picking up a westy caravan 310/4 in mid jan needs work...! but got it cheap so will see what is like when i see it as i bought it from photos.... if anybody is interested in a trailer(westy) i can get my hands on one end of jan dont know how much yet as i havnt seen the condition of it but if anybody is interested drop me a line.... paul

Hi si, i'm so very sorry about the delay in getting you the dimesions. hope these help,

U bracket.

width 16mm,thickness 3mm, Lenght 36mm

Lid

Width 94mm,lenght 124mm

Lid tonge

Width 19,thickness 3mm,lenght 65mm

you can see why it took a while :roll: I sooooooo need a garage.

 

[Cali_bay]

Many thanks Marcher, looks like a bit of a mare to get to it. :shock:

I can now begin my lid project.

I'm guessing the angle for the lid is about 35x35x3mm judging by the rack pillars marks (pillar bases approx 28mm dia).

Cheers,

Si

 

[marcher]

no worries si,
i'm sorry it took so long.

 

[bigbulli]

really enjoyed reading this, just bought one myself.

Does any one have pics / drawings of the spare wheel holder? Or pics / drawings of the rack thats sits on the lid? Or know where I can get a lock for the lid?

cheers
