Re: 6X4 TRAILER CONVERSION TO SUIT PA (finished pics )

Hi
Thats great, almost exactly what i need to do to my 6X4.
Can you tell me are they 2 rubber rollers welded into a V ? and the block at the front is that something you bought or handmade?
How did you end up securing the pull out bar, a pin/s or bolted it?
