Fill the trailer to the level of the sides with gravel .





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

You have a point ther Marcus.

However, the car is standing on both a wooden frame and the walls of the trailer. the bed is supported by large steel frame with several cross members.

The same trailer type is also registated with 900 kg load. But due to driver license regulations my trailer is "down registrated" to 650 kg. We have some strange towing rules here in sweden

Could you not perhaps fit some very narrow space saver type wheels to the car so that it would be narrow enough to sit on the trailer bed itself? If neccesary chop up and re-weld some old steel wheels to give them a shed load of negative offset to bring the tyres inboard, then carry your proper wheels elsewhere on the trailer or in the car.

I have now seen this “moster” live. On a track day in Karlskoga, 250km from where Micael lives. He say it worked fine. Nice to meet you Micael, hope you got home safely too.

Nice to meet you to Leto

The trailer worked fine.
As Leto said we drove 510 km today without any misshapps.
It was steady as a rock even in speeds far above the limit.
