Where did you get the brackets for the ends of the tubing. Is the tubing just electrical conduit? When I was still working I could have made the brackets. Now that I'm retired I can't do that anymore.

I got the frame as you see it from friend in Kodak TN. All the brackets you see are Bimini top. You can acquire everything you see here from a boat supply company or Internet. I have already seen the parts listed. I still need to buy a couple pieces of aluminum to go from front biw to header on windshield. Header is in mail from another friend I made in Indiana at NTBA nationals.

is there anyway that you could put a small gusset on the back side,even though you might not be carrying a lot of weight. Better safe than the other. IMO

If I ever remove body I'll triangulate I bar to both frame rails.

I have a question about the trailer. Would a trailer with the wheels at the four corners (Little red wagon style steering ) be more efficient, or would it have been a disaster waiting to happen ?

Ever try to back up a hay rack ?

 

[cooter]

You don't want a trailer wagon. Try pulling on with a tractor and look at how they track..

Your welcome. I'll keep the pics coming. Got my lap top back and so far so good. I think mounting main bow on top of body instead of from side of body gonna look better. My opinion of coarse.

Build it the way it makes you happy. As long as it's safe.
