I know this is a bit OT, but i reckon you guys might be able to help me...

I just managed to bend one of the leaf springs on my car trailer. Reversing onto the front yard i drove over a pair of rims i had left sitting there. One got stuck between the wheels on the trailer and forced the axle forwards, bending the spring Slam

Anyone know if i can straighten it out without weakening them/risk it breaking later on?

I have an oxy torch/forklift/gear at work...

Otherwise I have to try and find a replacement tomorrow so i can still make it on Sunday :curse:

I think supercheap have trailer stuff, not sure if they have springs tho? :)

Sorry to hear that mate.We all have bad stories to tell about our crappy reversing skills.

I had to buy a new letter box after I repeately slamed the trailer up against it one night. So don't feel bad.

A leaf spring is a spring and if you heat one of them up it will turn to cast iron and break. Don't do it.

You really need to buy a newy. Northern beaching ,,,nope sorry can't help.

lol that's the next thread....."show me what you reversed your car trailer into". mine was the front gate, although to be fair the clearance is about 10cm either side its pretty tricky in the dark.

So I take it your happy with the trailer big boy. I would be disappointed If you weren't.

Give it a good paint,,,look after it and it will give you years of enjoyment.

Nice rims by the way,,,.

you gonna slap those 34 rims on ya ford or what?

yea want a r34 gtr

they are the first stepping stone to it

haha, nice plan. Kinda why i bought a model R35. They say the first step is the hardest so should be a piece of pi$$ from here!

back to trailers, went past Unique Trailers the other day, and Peter just finished his first aluminum trailers. Light as, you can lift it off it's front axle from the front by yourself. Still has to do a bit of testing on it, but the best part is no rust!

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
