The problem is that they need to be light truck rated as I am carrying 3550KG. I bought 5 rims all-ready the same as my Ute. pictured in previous post with the shackle pin close is my spare tyre off my Ute. the plan was to run light truck tyres & rims the same as my Ute so i can interchange if needed. Pictured these are the rims I'm hoping to use The R411 Duravis is a tyre designed for the Holden One Tonne Ute. Featuring a light truck construction, the R411 Duravis offers heavy load carrying capacity of 900kg per tyre without compromising ride comfort and handling at highway speeds. Manufactured in Australia and developed for Australian conditions, the R411 Duravis is also suitable for similar vehicles requiring higher load carrying capacities. and a speed rating of 170km p/h

Day 6, 2 big problems, 1 wheel off set , 2 spring shackle bolt almost rubbing on tyre. I spent a lot of time today working out how to overcome these problems, I ordered the axle spring set to suite holden vy tonner rims,

have you checked the oil in diff for metallic bits and level? I would suggest using a good brand 85 140 gear oil will quieten it down and also make it last longer.

bought these from a trailer place for $119 for the pair, will save me a little time.

Jon has more wheels and tyres than most tyre outlets. His own private collection.

Try asking for a 1 7/8 welsh plug you need to spoon feed some of the spare parts people.

look at the time 'Dec 31 2008, 11:51 PM you should of been out celebrating the new year.

looks good, I would cut back with wet and dry ultrafine using a sanding block with water then use a hand cutting compound with a rag. I have found a elecric buff is just too coarse for a learner like myself.

Thanks for the comments everyone, Day 5 Today I Fitted front and sides. got straight as i could and then welded up

did you try using a window washer pump onto the bleeder and reverse inject clean fuild into the system?

I have been thinking about how i can accommodate. The regulations say brake intensity must be adjusted from drivers finger tips AKA a brake controller. I was wondering if there is a remote control device that could be fitted ,to save a brake controller being fitted to every car i use to tow with.

LH Torana ,are you going to do like a Gpack, L34 or SLR look a like they are getting kind of rare nice score. :yes:

This car is looking good,I really enjoyed watching the video of the progress good work :)

That is a great job just what I have been after.

day 4.6 3 more hours on the trailer today, I fabricated a plate for the jokey wheel, welded draw bar and drilled and bolted hitch

Good choice i have painted many cars in acrylic. 12 months back i tried two pack, i found it a nightmare. look forward to seeing pics

Hey nice score on the electronic ignittion, what are your plans for this car?

the trailer is getting heavy, the coupling is rated at 3.5 tonne so i will have to put over a weigh bridge and then work out my carrying capacity.. for axle placement i used 1/2 inch back of center for every foot of trailer. if there is to much weight on the draw bar with a short car I will just put the car back a bit.

have you tried cleaning the contact points inside the distributer yet?

has anyone got any pictures of tyres that have been grooved painted by Darryl?'. I'm keen to see the results Thanks Darren

I hope they did not weld on the car, it may have fry-ed a few sensors, also silicon has been known to cause problems with sensors, or i a rag in the inter-cooler hose.

Ring up a tyre shop to get a quote. tell them What size wheels are on your car in metric see the response you get. harden up WE talk imperial still for tyre sizes, trailers sizes 6x4 7x4 8x5 thats the way it is.

day 4.3 I have spent 3 hours after work this week will go hard on this project in the new year. I have another 4 days off :lmao: but on call again :)

Day 4.3 flipped it

SA trailer and chassis on port Wakefield road, GVM 1600kg per axle 10" electric brakes x with springs and everything to hang them it came to $2793
