Should only be two different sized bolts? 2-56 and 0-80. Unless you are also referring to the nuts which are another size. Glad you are getting it figured out.

Can you see the difference ? Isn't much smaller but just enough for the socket to spin freely.

It is still 0-80 but I did notice some inconsistencies in the heads when I have been using them. Some get stuck in the tool I made and others fit loosely. I guess quality control is harder when they are so small.lol

Just to give you guys an idea how much work Reg put into this trailer...and that doesn't even include the chassis

Now the fun begins!

One thing I noticed my old socket drivers work well (30 plus years ) recent ones aren't as good . The Morris ones are still the best . On screws I have sent some back cause the heads were crappy .

Looking good Brandon. Not sure if you noticed but the braces underneath the tub are shorter near the front. I think I put a scribe mark on the backside of them? Anyway it's a noticeable difference in length so just make sure the long dongs are on the back half when you reassemble.

Sorted them now and just noticed the markings. So if I have this right the one's with the markings go towards the front half of the trailer ?

RCP57 · #**192** 05-03-2016, 10:56 AM

That is correct!

Polished everything on the buffing wheel with rouge buff compound. Finished it off with Mother's aluminum polish compound to get that nice finish. Still many hours of work left but it's slowly getting there!
