Hi all,
does anybody here have plans available for a lightweight trailer suitable for a seven?
The current trailer I use weighs the same as my car(560kg)
I have seen some nice designs,and am keen to build my own

Cheers

This here linky is my standard reply to this question. Lovely and simple.

Home built, bolt together trailer - no welding required

I thought my trailer was light at 750kg. It has got a gross carrying weight of 3500kg though

Interesting to read the build journal for the Firefox....

SVA time picture


It appears they did SVA without a nosecone!!! It mentions later on in the build buying and fitting one!!!
How the hell do you pass SVA with an exposed engine / radiator / cambelt etc etc...??

He had a nosecone.

Ready for the SVA test with two days to spare.
