dont forget your break away cable or chain.
rear triangles reflectors as per trailer regs.
im sure theres a distance measurement between car and trailer, but it looks ok from your pictures. You might want a jockey wheel for unhitching and pushing around at shows if its loaded with gear.
id also be using minimum 2 bolts to hold in the removable sections, same size as you would use to attach the towball to the towbar frame.

Cheers Jordie,
Already got the breakaway and triangles - Thanks
Removable pieces each have 2 'pins' with 'R' clips for strength and to be secure.

You might find your flasher rate changes with the trailer attached, if it does you can just change the flasher relay to sort it out.

as per usual... work seems to get in the way. Wish I could win lottery and retire.
Working away during the week and usually have jobs to sort out when home.
Will be at a couple of shows this year with the Shortie and Trailer... pop over for a burger...

Looking for a couple of matching wheels - dont have to be mint. I cant advertise on here yet until Iv posted about 150 posts...
Thanks
FYI Yours are from a MIni 30, Flame Red, Checkmate or Cooper RSP. They have the wheel nut holes inline with the wheel spokes. They come up on Ebay quite frequently at around £100 for 4.

off topic - underneath your avatar it says "Noobies".
Surely that should say "Boobies" ? *
* I suspect that was an admin change in the first place
