Well my mates mate has finally finished making my fuel bar for me.
Took a few shots after fitting it.
Main bar is made of 3mm wall tube.with side connectors made from 8mm plate. 10mm plate for the swing arms.
It still needs some pins to keep it in the open position. Open tube at the bottom is still large enough to get the snatch strap in and put the pin through it so I can still recover off the tow bar. I have lost a bit of ground clearance but this is just for touring and should not be missed.
I have just received a set of LED top/tail/indicator lights that have to be put on as the Jerry cans obscure the rear tail lights.
Nice tight fit for the Jerry cans. They were full and had to push the second one in. Not too sure if thats good or bad. Some hoops are welded to each side to strap the cans in
Trailer hubs for hinges.
Close up of catches. Same ones Steve F used for his rear bar.
Rear view of swing arm. Main support is 20mm flat bar.
Jerry holder. A bit if over kill here. Needs a few holes drilled in it for drainage.
Shot of attachment point to tow bar. These are not designed as load carrying. Load is supported by tow hitch. This just stops the bar from moving around in the hitch. A thread was tapped into the tow bar for the bolts.
all the weight is supportted here just need to ream out the hole for the pin as we didn't manage to get it in the right spot.
Almost Finished
