Trailer replacement axles

Luckly my father has just got hold of a tidy car trailer, the bad side is it's unbraked.

Does anyone know of a locost solution to replacing the Indespenion units the trailer currently has fitted?

I think i've heard of people using beam axles from a FWD car, but can't find any info.

All help greatly recieved, Dan.

Cheers Kipper I'll keep them in mind, and top link Mr Mango, I'd like to pay less naturally and don't mind converting something else.

You will also need a hitch etc, I used this chap just before Christmas, very good, cheaper than anyone else easily and put together what I wanted.

Trailer stuff

Okay my BEC would have sat on an unbraked trailer legally, but having used unbraked trailers before and once going straight over a roundabout in Canterbury because I could not stop will not be repeating that mistake. Braked trailers rock !

Get an old caravan. They pop up free on Freecycle quite often. Wish I'd known before I bought mine
