Just a little update to my trailer. With the snow still laying a bit heavy on the ground I haven't been able to do much painting, but I did source out an old bed frame that I used to make my new towbar. I have also managed to cobble together a sort of indicator for the rear of the trailer - this still needs a bit of work done on it.

Trailer with new towarm...




Towarm.
(I used a couple of old computer power leads, the wires are threaded along the inside of the towarm to the indicators)



Trailer indicators.
(still have to add a rear light and brake light. this is just a prototype until I scource out better materials)



The stainless steel door/lid I found.



The door/Lid
painted up and a piece of angle iron welded on to take a padlock.



As you can see the lid falls a little short but this will be made up with a piece of wood.



Still have to do a bit more wiring and varnish the lid. ......... Damn snow

I'll keep you all updated as to how things progress.

Regards
Tom
