Show Me Your Race Car Trailers

[FC3S 13BT]

OK, here's what I tow my car around in, tows really well but not cheap....

Has electric brakes, never had an issue....

Haha yep you definatley win Jack!

Jack has towed me a few times and have never had any scraping issues at all! Price is also unbeatable!

I will never use RACV or any other similar towing services again haha.

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?

[benm]

Maybe a suspension shop or a trailer shop could sell you 1 off the shelf?

[prescott06]

Yeh, i dont know of anywhere near me (northern beaches) that would be open tomorrow though?

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.

Thanks guys, fixed now

Turns out the slipper end of the spring had slipped out of its housing, after driving round with no weight on a bit it popped back in

[Duncan]

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.

[boxheadmr]

....you could also add crappy going forward as well. Took out a nice chuck of a stone wall in Goulburn when i got a little too close on the swing to get around the corner.

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!

[benm]

Yup the day I picked up mine he got the aluminium delivered, bit expensive for me though
