kick ass adam...if minis weren't so hard to come across over here (actually more expensive than hard to find) I would be building one along with rusty but just don't have enough money. Good work though....keep the pics rolling in.

Remember that you need to fit reflective triangles on the rear for the law.

Siggy, you wouldn't need triangle reflectors if you used normal mini lights as they have reflectors built in

[adam c]

Cheers siggy but as davenclaire said wouldn't i be alright with standard mini lights??? Are there any other laws I need to know for trailers, all the ones I work with are owned by a farmer so no lights, no plate, no brakes, heavy loads, knackered wheel bearings, insecure loads etc.... The funny thing is that we got stopped the other day by the police and they told us that it was illegal but they were only dipping for diesel so we could carry on I personally would never tow one of them trailers on the road and want my trailer to be nice and legal :grin: .....

[Dom]

the police seem very leneint where you are.

unless theyr scared of the farmers :fear: :fear:

[adam c]

They are very lenient. A guy got pulled for doing 70 on a bike in a 30 but they were only doing drink drivers!!

[siggy]

As its a trailer you need warning triangles, standard Mini refelectors are not legal for a trailer.

Siggy

[adam c]

Didn't know that.
Cheers mate :grin:

[siggy]
