Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Dankie Jorrie en Dirk.

David, yes but. Give Clem a little while to sort out the legalities, then we can discus it in more detail.

Hi Peter - Ive also been considering making a bike trailer but have heard its nigh on impossible to get a home build registered and roadworthy. What do you plan to do regards this aspect?

3 options that I know of.

1. Buy an old stuffed trailer with papers and use it's reg and VIN etc.
2. Some of the trailer builders will do it for you for about R 2 k.
3. I have heard that some of the trailer suppliers will do it for you if you have bought all the parts from them, ie axle, wheels, towbar coupling etc......

I know a guy in the industry and will ask him when I see him tomorrow.

Jip there are many legal ways to skin a cat....even more ilegal ones but lets not go threre ......lol.... BUT THERE ARE PLANS ..

Hi Peter. Been off air for a long time, then I come back to your build, WOW!!! great thinking, planning, photos and explanation of work done and progress. I hope you don't mind if I steal some of your ideas and ask for advice from you in the distant future when I convert a big catering trailer into a camping trailer.

Chris, i am using David's second option.

Charles, thanks and of course not.

Thanks guys!
I have access to an old stuffed trailer with papers and will do rebuild with that vin etc

That's a great way to do it as long as the gross weight remains the same Chris.

Hello Peter, hoe vorder jy met die projek van jou?
