Trailer build Ep11, draw bar

The draw bar was extended about 1.5m and reinforced with two stringers below it. The T end was rebuilt to match the existing tilt pin. The tow hitch base also rebuilt using existing parts and welded on. The existing jockey wheel clamp was reused.

Frame 1, with hinge mount, was moved back about 40cm from what it was originally. Trying to make the trailer tilt easier than it did and gain some triangulated strength.

The brake lever needed lengthening to clear the two stringers. In retrospect i would have used a 4"x2" box section instead of the 3"x2" with stringers,  which would have been much simpler and quicker.
