I am starting to prepare for drag and drive events, I have many things to do, but I decided to start on the “fun job”, building a custom, streamliner, mini-enclosed trailer. This is part 1 of probably three or four videos.

on mine I made the bolt pattern on the axle same as my car so it could share a spare tire...

I wanted to do that on mine but the VW bolt pattern is very hard to convert to. I think I am going to run the same TIRE, carry a spare tire only and take a pair of tire spoons so I can change the tire on the side of the road, then limp it to a tire shop to balance it.

@@HellmuthsHotRods you could use front vw spindles and make an axle like every one did in the 60s

Thought about that, didn’t want to get into aligning them, and I’m not 100% sure what kind of steel they are and how they would take to be welded. I welded on a spindle once and it broke. Not sure if it took the temper out, or if it became brittle, or what.

Hey, I didn’t know they existed! Thanks very much for the lead, you may have steered my project in a different direction! Thanks again.
