Springs & mudguards
Its getting late so time to pack in for the night
Got 60*60 box section steel which will extend sideways through a larger 70*70 section piece thus stabilizing the trailer when the mast is erected
Cut this into 8 ft. lengths approximately to fit in my car as they come in lengths of 26 feet, some 1"*1/4 flat plate and some angle iron & u bolts to secure axle to springs acquired also
A Jockey wheel and hitch will have to be located also
Fitting the Springs
Lugs drilled & welded onto the frame so that the end of the 5 leaf spring can be bolted into place
60*60 mm box cut 100mm long with a 50*20 box inserted and welded to take the other end of the spring
