My next task, one of 4000

Post by Clumpy » Fri Jun 24, 2011 11:12 am

Yes I know..... they are shocking, and I will be putting in the new springs in the next few days. I am not looking forward to trying to get them off, maybe just cutting the bolts, as I don’t think they will move for anything.

And before you ask, the trailer was like this when i got it, i just have to try and get it treated so it doesn’t get any worse......... the money tree out the back is not growing very well this year. :angry:

It never ends with boats, but for some stupid reason i love it.......

Yep, I'd be cutting them off and getting new springs and ubolts. Much easier than trying to undo that mess, most likely the bolts would snap anyway as you tried to undo them.

Yep, Repco would have them, also possibly Autobarn, Supercheap and possibly even bunnings. Just to name a few.
