Benny might have wasted his money on a trailer that's too small... how will he save it and maximise space? Is he a Tetris king or prisoner?
Here is how he built a sliding drawer that just might save the day.

The things to replace the bolts for the drop down legs are called clamping lever with external thread. You can disengage them to position the lever. If your brake plan doesn't work out, I for Williams sell hubs with drum brakes which probably fit that axle as a bolt on part. Great video, really enjoy this sort of stuff!

35:19 As soon as Gian said space ship livery, all I could see was the trailer wrapped to look like the NASA shuttle. The shape of the guards even works then. And the colours would match the Cresta Also, add some flat bar on edge running down the sides of the drawer. Keeps things on the drawer and put holes (wholes?) every 6" for tie down points

Mini drum brakes could be good enough for the trailor - opens up a lot of choices for wheels and tyres - but probably too wide. Also, GSXR 750 motorbike rear disc brake could be a good shout too. Such a cool project, keen to see how it all 'unfolds'. Wholesome episode, managed to watch the whole hole section without getting a sore head 😆Did I miss the bit where you used the circular saw to cut the draw bed? Eleventy out of ten would agree - you two have the best shed banter on the interwebs. Looking forwards to the next one fellas!

Those torsen axles on the trailer are absolute garbage! Upgrade to leaves and add brakes then.

@AlexanderBurgers 25 күн бұрын

nah, these torsion axles are exceedingly reliable if you keep it within its rated weight. Adding heavy and bulky suspension components just cuts into the cargo capacity. Increasing the GVW above 750 kg requires a ton of paperwork and basically replacing every part of the trailer along with the axle so you're building a trailer from scratch at that point, plus the bureaucracy to make it road legal.
