(I hate tax) :twisted: $10 to cut it in half and they waved the $15 extracting from the warehouse fee. Threw in a few free offcuts, too. 8-) All my needs will come out of 1 sheet. Thanks go to ...

Re: Labertouche 22nd September

50/50 chance I'll be there. Haven't been wheeling for a while. If I'm there it will be the 1st real shake down trial of the new trailer. (Pauls happy with this, I hope everyone else don't mind) No skin yet, just a rolling chassis, but it will find out if theres any probs before I continue on. If I'm...

Re: zook off road trailer AKA Tadpole

I fixed the slipper spring rattle with real complex a high tech system. I shoved some heavy rubber pipe around the bolt the springs, on droop, get caught by. :mrgreen: The issue is caused by only using a single leaf, cos the 2nd leaf on a double leaf spring is angled down to stop loose drooping. chr...

Re: zook off road trailer AKA Tadpole

I finished the hitch and lights today, and finaly got to road test it. Still gotta do a rev light and number plate light, yet. It passed the road test, but I had to fight hard not to go bush and get some crossed up pix. Trying to keep it clean to work on. It tows ok, not to heavy for the car. May ne...

Whats wrong with my clutch ??

Backin up the driveway, I was entertained by a very loud screech, and thick smoke billowing out from under Frog's bonnet. I've known that the clutch thrust bearing has been dodgy for quite some time. :oops: But have never had one die so spectacularly before. A big thanks to R & E Auto in Croydon...
