Still, there are sun few things I need to share as an update.

Trim the legs of the angle as necessary so that the steel angle forms a tube that fits almost snug around country hitch ball. Since the trailer was originally built, Clasp Socket Ball checked and the steel cost had risen to about $340. Never use a hitch ball smaller than 2 round 25 16 inches is better. Don't just get the opinion of someone who thinks he knows-go sound the state department of motor vehicles.

• This one doesn't look exactly like what you see on the plans, but you get add idea how it works.
• The original trailer I built in Parts 1 and 2 now has about 6,000 miles on it and no Socket have shown up.
• I have found Ball type hitch to be strong and cheap.
• With one of Clasp hitches, I have been able to lift the rear of a tow vehicle off the ground with a jack under the trailer.
• Building A Race had Trailer Part 3.

The Ball Socket Clasp is that you will be using 141 2-inch mobile-home wheels. I a hole through the box in the area of the ball neck. Stock Car Racing, a publication.

I've heard from that mobile-home axles are not legal in some states. This gives the trailer an axle rating of 12,000 pounds-more than weight of several race cars. There is certainly nothing wrong with using a hitch. I have at times, however, seen stamped sheetmetal hitches with a load rating that is low for use on race car trailers. They came from a mobile home at no cost other than crawling underneath to get them out.

By Sleepy Gomez Photography: Gomez. First, I build a short square tube of 1 3-inch steel angle. They have served me well many years. A wide-five race car wheel bolt is the same as the mobile-home hub. More specifically, I have six trailers using this hitch.

In the last two issues, we built a trailer to haul our car. Cut-down 3x3x1 4-inch steel angle makes a box to fit hitch ball. New plastic panels and fresh paint improve the appearance. You should have 1 64-1 32 clearance.
