nice trailers, one day I hope that I can build one myself to my D8 (incl a Pete)
Guess a 3-axles trailer will do.

Followup on wheels - did you make them from PVC pipe fitting or turn from something else? Very good looking! I'd say your "experiment" with lathe and rotary table was a resounding success. Now, just find a CNC machine and run those babies out in mass!!

[td9clyde]

henry after a 100 , I got to clean out my lathe just on the dish side . 200 wheels will fill a 55gal drum with chips/shavings packed

Trailers look great! The wheels really set them apart. Isn't delrin fun to work with???

That would be 100 rims to fit 200 tires and hay I can wish can't I?

[td9clyde]

lol you might get that many over a looooooooooooooong time frame lol yea wishin is all good too it wouldn't be so hard if i had more tooling

[td9clyde]

lol man i had a big pile of delron strips this stuff shaves insted of chips and grindings lol

[tc1cat]

That's one of the wonders of delrin. No matter how much you want to turn off of a part, you always get a ribbon/string. Just one word of warning- DO NOT TRY AND PULL THE RIBBONS/STRINGS OFF OF A PART WHILE IT IS TURNING!!!! Have seen one guy lose part of a finger trying to do this. Not a pretty sight!

[td9clyde]

ooooooooooooooops lol Travis and Izzy and myself was doin this alot when they was hangin out

[Izzy]

get enough orders and we could find a local screw machine company to run a batch. but man that's a lot of lug nut holes!!!

[BullDog]

Travis,this a great build and using delrin plastic nice.I would love to have a trailer where do we place the order...

[Kid@heart]

Nice job with the delrin rims, how has the fibre reinforced plastic worked so far? Easy to tool? How about joining pieces?

Thanks I got more delrin today for the center caps. The trailer is made of c board not FRP and it works well it machines easier than delrin. Every thing has to be joined using mechanical fasteners glue is useless.
