I’m looking to get my shell pushable on wheels in and out the garage on to trailer etc. Don’t have or want rear subframe/radius arms etc so thinking if anyone has ever knocked up something from box section that will fix into heel board and damper mounts?
Needs to take mini wheels also...

Hi,

 

May I suggest something like the flintstone rear axle I mocked up last week for my project?

 

Please see my build thread for some pictures and details.

 

 

Cheers from the Pipe Pipers Town

Wrong height with front on wheels and not strong enough to use on a trailer

What have the front wheels got to do with it? they will be off the ground. a Euro pallet can take upto 1500kg so a 600-700kg mini is nothing. and you can get suitably rated casters as well.

 

or you can get the welder out and pick up the subframe mounts and the shock mounts and stick on 2 wheel barrow wheels or some such.
