hey jg
what brakes are on the trailer front only? would the swingarms hit the frame or cant they move that far ,and what did the trailer weigh in the end it is neat looking
Had to look @ pic cause i couldn't remember pic was no good cause hadn't fitted them @ that stage but pretty sure front wheels
Swingarms are rounted towards rear back onto pulleys then run through a series of eyelets to avoid sagging _________________ **************************

am thinking of building my own alloy trailer soon, most likely will be bolted together with a couple welds here and there.
I run with the theory if you're going to do something then do it right
Your heart must also be there else you'll F up
Not a fan of bolted trailer & the odd weld here & there aint gonna help really need to go heavy heavy wall thickness if bolting with sierra foxtrot alpha tolerances with the holes

Anyway a question on the trailer though ... how do you find the Alko rubber suspension?
Anyday over full axle traditional spring suspention
Dealing with the idiots @ ALKO is a different story
Went with the 1/2 axles on purpose as they allowed me to build trailer in a way where boat huggs the ground you can see it in pic i've keel of boat sits low to ground figured it would make a better tow plus car goes no where near water on launch/retrieve
Only stuff up on trailer was hight of gaurds & reason frank was barking
Thought i'd initially given more than enough clearance but rubbed the tyres easy fix rather than cutting gaurds off i welded C channel back to back to end up with an I beam & spaced between traler frame & torqe bars _________________ **************************
