The moment of truth was when the assembly fit onto the trailer frame. It was within millimeters accuracy thankfully.
Restored wheel axle assembly re-fitted |
Still a bit of silt on it from the major flash flood that swept through one night in Feburary 2019.., the culmination of a severe lengthy 9 day monsoon convergence that saw 200 to 300mm fall nearly every day. (About 1500 mm, 4 feet of rain in just over a week, more than the annual average!) . The Rollingstone creek eventually burst its banks and it sheet flooded over many square Kilometers. About 13" deep tore through the boat yard for about 4 hours. Luckily no damage to tools as these were kept elevated, but it took some time and effort to clean up flood debris.
Drop axle and double keel rollers |
The drop axle allows the keel to be slung a bit closer to the tarmac and aid launch/retrieval.
Suspension and brake arm |
The trailer is rolling again!
