i like the idea of the 3mm channel, but i dont like angle iron at all - he's had to use 8mm thick to get the strength reqiured. Having it bolted
has pros and cons, good for storage if dissembled but not great for piece of mind! Nice piece of kit though, but im not sure its worth doing to save
just £300, as the home made part will be reflected in the resale value.

Edit: Did we discuss suitable car axles the last time this came up?

Im not using brakes on mine, the main reasons being cost and the fact im towing with a van. A braked hitch, braked hubs and cables would've
added £150-£200 to the cost, and provided my tow vehicles weighs more than 1500kgs (under UK law) i dont have to have them.
