    I have decided on 8x5 and managed to get a very good deal on 40x40x2400 and 3mm thick at only $8 a length.. I bought 15 but I am going back for more as it is a bloody good price.. Matty is getting me to grab him 15 also.
    What size is the pfc?

    Thats an odd size. Are you sure it isnt 100x50 or 150x75?
    Either way it will be heaps as a draw bar on a small trailer like that.

    It could be 100x50 but it was dark and I got scared.. so 100mm was all I measured and I guessed the rest...lol

    Good stuff as it is one less thing I have to reach into my wifes purse for.... might find my testicles in there?

    Yeah pfc is set. For the smaller sizes the flanges are half the back of the channel as they get bigger they change. So 250pfc is 250x90

    As for your testicles you need to accept the fact they are gone lol

    So I am good to go then..?

    Its length being 2300mm is near on perfect.. my other trailer has a long draw bar of 2000mm so this should be good.

    With everything I have here now I could build the base and draw bar and all the sides.

    I wish I had more cash for this steel I have found as it is perfect for making heavy work benches and all sorts other other wonderful things.
