14 months since I updated this. I have no idea how but the tyres that were ruined 3 years ago STILL HOLD AIR! I haven't even pumped them up and they are apparently tubeless. It means the trailer has been running trips to the scrap yard and the tip, it's all very exciting LOL
Anyway I digress, I'm looking at a potential house move so I need all of my projects to be functional and working and not lashed up.
This means I bought a jockey wheel for the trailer to make hitching it a little easier when it's loaded. Amazingly the holes lined up.
I also spent some time considering my wheel and tyre choice, I decided to trust my measuring that it was 4.5" PCD. Turns out alot of shit from the far east uses that PCD so I bit the bullet and took the punt on ordering a Daewoo Matiz wheel and tyre. Test fitted and it was perfect bar being a lower offset and sticking out the arch. I'm praying that the 2 wheels doesn't make it wide enough it doesn't fit out the gap in my fence as it was bloody close before. On the up side 10mm wider tyres and a wider stance can only help stability.
I've got some cheap LED clusters off ebay here but I'm not sure I like them so might just adapt my broken light board to fit low down underneath.
