B/G the 8inch wheels are OK some have high speed ratings that are fitted to trailers you can only tow legally at 60mph so no prob with tyres had them fitted to teardrop towed at 80mph forgot it was on back of kitcar haha

Thinking about this as I've been looking at trailers but either they aren't wide enough or they're enormous!

Sorry to hijack the thread!
no worries BG if the thread helps you out all the better  Grin

Looks very strong and useful,dont know about the legalities either.
 Ive been pricing up the basic bits . Th coupling,wheels,and 2 susp. units are around £150. Still too expensive to warrant a triler build though! Cant find a cheap trailer to muller for the parts either!Been looking around .

As for the legality - apparently as the dolly and trike together weigh less than 750kg, it's legal.  Damned if I can remember who told me as I'be been asking questions all over the place!

Tyre pressures please?

it will give you an idear or the pressure. if max is 30psi. then put 25psi in. or like mouse says put 30psi in
you dont want to put the max tyre pressure in for a long run
