Just hit the full reply screen button then just below the typing window click on the 'file manager link - it opens a box that will allow you to navigate to the photo.

Dont forget to shrink the size a bit before you add it in MS picture manager should do the trick.

Hi Trevor/Tim,
Still had my toecaps on, love using body parts to cushion the axle from hitting the concrete. Have the wheels on, more steelwork tomorrow and hopefully it will be legal [just] by the end of the weekend,
Cheers,

Did not really expect to be strengthening the trailer this winter [2 years old] but I found a vertical crack on the right hand "A" frame just in front of the beam supports. All the important sections are 75 x 50. Contributing factors could be...
1/Heavy sailbox which sits to the right,
2/Bumpy road from Normanville to home,
3/Double decking to Portarlington?? Probably not as it did not crack till 4 months later,
anyway I have added forward struts to take away the "pivot point" and 4 of 600mm x75mm x 5mm steel plate equidistant under the front beam supports,so it should be strong enough now.Also built a lighter sailbox.

It's fatal to plug in power tools, may as well tidy up the transoms, centreboards and rudders!
Cheers,
Roy
