all painted :)

made sure no paint on tow hitch

once dry maybe paint again will have to see i cant fit till monday so may paint again yet lol as have loads left :)
 
8.8 is only standard for cars etc ,if you go b& q etc there no where near 8.8 thats why they snap !
 
Got a quick question for someone (sorry ti nick yr thread) ive got pin and ball. Is it standard to have a hitch that is reversable for pin and ball use? At the min i use the pin but my ball is also usable (ontop) but looking at the setup, to use the pin the ball should be hpside down which would also give me another inch or so on the hight and looks sturdier than the current setup?
I think theres a pic in my album kn my profile..

Am I reading this right? You want to turn you towball upside down as you only use the pin. But without gravity it is only held in with a clip??
 
Tbe pin can go either way up.. Im not using the ball at the min, the top wbere the ball is looms stronger and would give the trailer a nose hight boost..
 
Ah my mistake, getting tired. I took a quick look at the picture and thought it was the same as mine which has a spring lever thing on one side near the top meaning it can only go one way round

Nice little trailer sits wel,l is it a bought trailer or home made?
 
I bought it but i think it was home made, or at least made by someone who knows what they are doing, it belonged to a jet washer and carried a water tank, it looks series wheels and springs on it to me and has had well over a tonne in it..
 
going to fit towbar tomorrow as day off :):):):)

do i need to remove the factory fitted tow point ????

Probably yes, use the same holes...and they're a PIG to get off when they've been on for 10 years!
