Need reference for building an aluminum tire rack etc.

Postby martinreinhardt on Tue Apr 17, 2007 1:53 pm

I need someone to build me an adjustable tire rack and a work bench that can fold up in an enclosed trailer.

Also, what is the best source for small trailer windows?

After messuring and trying to find mounting points behind the wall from the trailer, I may have to go with a custom made tire rack afterall.

Does anybody have a recommendation for a local fabricator?

Jim Copp fabricated the tire rack and ramp extensions for my open trailer, as well as for several other PCA members. I believe he has made ramps for several enclosed trailers, as well.

Thank you guys for the replies. I will try to get in contact with Jim.

Jad: The 911 fits in it until I am bored with it. :lol:
