Ok i should have stated that length is the problem here..

I need at least 215mm long ( the girls are getting fussy nowadays ha ha )

I have 100mm Alloy then 50mm steel then 13mm plate then 2 nuts that add to about 200mm..

I have found a mob at carole park that do a 16mm u bolt thats 230mm long off the shelf :grin:

Active fab and about 9 other companies can only supply 150-180mm off the shelf.

I am going to get these 230mm ones and get them galled.

The Alloy C Channel that my trailer is made of has two plates welded inside the c channel to accomadate the u bolts.

So this is the final decision.

A drive to carole park and i have everything i need..

Then to get out for a fish well thats another story.

I think i might start working weekends and have mid week off coz mid week is when the fans not blowing!! :undecided: :cry:
