it aint going anywhere wothout any wheels - an axle (or pair of) would probably help too

What about ramps and storage

you will have 1-1.5 meter hanging off the back where the main beams are it will bend with the car on.

if i was gonna make one i would use 125x50x6 channel. like this with some 5mm chequer running down each side for the car to run on. you could put some braces between the rails. you would have to solid mounting points for the wheels each side. and fully weld it.

ramps will slide in between rear decks and bolt to rear brace and brace (postion to be determined)..

im have a indyblade weighing about 450kgs on it..

maybe some additional bracing or a rear
a frame..?

I was looking at bolting it all togeather so it can be dismantled in the winter months

Is that 105 or 10.5 degrees at the back of the hitch?

Its 105 (one hundred and five) degrees..i got this figure from the bolt holes on a coupling on the bradley website..i struggled to work this out and think this is ok.. but being a total amauter at this i not sure..

All the feedback is most welcome..if we can design and test a basic design and it works we could all use it and adapt where nessacary..Sound Famailer..?????

here what im aiming for
