Trailer mod ideas


from having to rent the U-Haul Trailer..we liked the front tire strap and fold away fenders. See pics.

The trick fender is slick.

The front tire straps need to be hooked to the wire grid floor (not locked into one position)...that way we could position the car forward or aft more or less based on stability/weight distribution needed.

A little shade up top.

A wench. Maybe power it with the brake wires and a switch?

I agree on the thoughts of "not locked in one position". However, the wire grid isn't strong enough. I was thinking of something more complicated... like creating a gutter (with thick metal sections) on each side of the wire tire grid. Drill holes for pin mounts and have the ability to move a tire jam and strapping mechanism where needed, attaching through the pin locations. I must like complicated.  The trailer parts place might have something to help (they have the tire straps). Before we consider this, I want to put the weight distribution stuff on first and see how it helps.

"A little shade up top."
I found an umbrella that we could get at Southeastern Salvage ($69) and it's black and white stripped (kind of matches our tent).

We have the come-along for now.

Well, the 240 has a fix on its rear main seal now.
The yellow 300 has its throttle cable fixed by Terry, and a new alternator by me. It's putting 13.7 volts to the battery. For comparison, the white 300 is putting 13.6 volts to the battery.


Need a PCV vacuum fix and a boost guage vacuum fix on the yellow 300. Minor issues.

Ordered the downpipes and race pipes for one 300.

Need a new valve cover gasket on the 240. Maybe some race cams for the 240, too?


Trailer has one set of brakes now and will be getting another set?

Don't think it's worth the money to put a cam on there unless you do a rebuild first. Need to go ahead and get a heavier clutch too before it goes back out.
