Here is a little update.
The trailer has 4 wheel brakes, I have gone down in size on the wheel cylinders. This allows a standard trailer master cylinder to be used.
It has of all things, Valiant wheel cylinders now.
The trailer is comming up a treat, it was a late night Saturday as I wanted to get the paint on to allow it to dry overnight.
In hindsight it really needed another coat of paint as it is a little thin in places, but it has plenty of primer under it.
Here is a crappy pic from my phone yesterday.


All that is left is to fit a flex hose from Master cylinder to pipe, bleed brakes and fit the wheels (tyres being fitted today)
Then off for rego.
Boy it is gunna hurt next year when all these rego's come in at the same time.
