The only reason i would have kept the zorst was if it was functional bolted up to a generator, but even then it would just have fumed out whoever was cooking, and Ive dumped the genny idea for a 12v system instead, so NO was my resounding decision :thumb:

Suits me down to the ground lol

Ill can donate 2 squeezy bottles for ketchup & brown sauce if need be? :d

Is this legal?

As wont it need some form of testing? like load bearing?

Or can I build a trailer, and get pulled, but say its ok, I say it can take 5t for example?

I think theirs a basic test they have to undergo, not too sure though, just stuff like working lights, safety cable etc etc

Light trailers dont appear to come under any requirement for testing, so long as its under 750 kilos afaik.

Forking ace pal!

and this is over spec for 750kg because you have actually got it braked.

i donated a nova beam for a trailer once, we had to narrow it 8" and fit it upside down. i have seen it with 2.5t on it, and it never bent at all.

Yup, that was my theory, even though I only fitted the braking hitch to use the handbrake, its a bit of belt and braces for the plod if they want to get anal ;)
