Trailer runners

Hi all

I'm lookin for some trailer runners something along the line of what this guy has:

trailer runners

Preferably from somewhere in scotland if possible?

Or am i barking up the wrong tree with these? Am i better off with chequer plate for a bit of grip? Ive seen the punched chequer plate ones but hes miles away and delivery will be a load on top.

cheers
Steve

Was referring to the "vehicle" in your link not your GKD.

^^^LMAO, that could have gone very wrong!!

Love the linked trailer.

Cant you get some 5mm plate folded? If it were me, i would get holes pressed into it as well for less weight and more tyre grip.





Kindest Regards,

Think that the postage would be a killer from down south, got a couple of contacts up here to chase

Will the leccky stuff be thick enough? Doubt it would be thicker than 1mm or so? Will have a look later
