Trailer tyre rack

[Kingster]

Anyone got a tyre rack going spare?

 

To suit my Brian James micro max trailer, but no doubt anything can be modified with an angry grinder and welder 😁

There’s one on FB market place at the mo in Colchester for £250 but it might be a bit of a trek for you unless you can arrange a wscc courier.

I did think that! But I’ve got a mate who’s a coded welder so I reckon I can pull in a favour if needed 😁

I’ve just been asked this morning if I can fabricate one for the lad I sold that other trailer too! 

[Kingster]

I might have one lined up - just waiting on measurements and a means to get it cross country!

I'm not sure if there all the same but my Brian James trailer is galvanised. So would assume the tyre rack will be as well. Not teaching you to suck eggs but welding galvanize is pretty bad for you and your gonna need specific sticks or wire. And a respirator and maybe the ambulance for after

Also I'm sure Brian James know what there doing but putting 4 wheels and tyres on the nose of you trailer. Make sure the nose weight of your tow bar can take it

I've got the same trailer as @Kingster and the official BJ rack (snigger) - I thought the same thing so I redrilled the mounting holes to push the rack as close toward the trailer centre as I could. In practice, I was restricted by Lionels windscreen but if was Westie only it could have gone back a touch further.

The Vito has a pretty hefty nose weight - can’t see it being an issue.

I’ll ask my mate and see what he says.

Yeah it’s not good when welded it releases zinc oxide which has some nasty effects especially respiratory trouble

Galv is horrible to weld!
