riser section - tubes are 1"x1". Dont' remember the wall size, but not too beefy, maybe 1/16" or 3/32". All other plate sections are 1/4" plate

If you still have a steel bumper look at the miata stuff. |

Bringing this topic back to life, winter project 2005 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) Since I am getting more and more in to AXing and my wife wants to ride along with me and I run DOT R tires now it is making it a pain the (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/bootyshake.gif) to haul my tires in the car and have my wife follow me with her car. So I'm going to do it, make a setup simular to Robert Murphy, Andrew I like your setup also but the cool factor of the hidden hitch has me hooked (no pun intended).
Curt I sent you a PM, seems I have lost all my info that Robert sent me plus his email address. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/slap.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) Can you hook me up again (again no pun intended) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif) |

Gerold, please start a thread on your fabrication and installation. Heck, I am interested so maybe you can do a group buy on parts and stuff? I'll bet there are a few others interested too. Harbor Freight has inexpensive build yourself trailers that would work great.

I'm not sure Curt is on the list at this time. If you don't hear from him, let me know and I can most likely hook up with Murphy. |

Greg I will do that. I am going to have Brad Mayeur install my Engman Long kit this winter and I will have him cut the bumper at the same time. I plan to use a trailer like this one to haul my AX stuff. Its going to be fun (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/w00t.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) |

In the seventies I recall seeing an advertisement for 914 and 911 trailer hitches. The 914 model had four arms that I assume straddled the tranny and bolted to the trunk floor. These then came together and the tongue went below the rear bumper and curved up to the ball location. At the time I wondered why anyone would put a trailer hitch on a 914?

I am glad yall are talking about this. I have been toying with the idea of building a teardrop trailer(example). Hopefully for being pulled by my 914. Of course it may never happen with the amount of projects I have one my plate right now. Just so I know does anyone know the towing capacity of a 2.0L? Could it tow 1200-1400LBs. Thats the big one. I am sure I could build a lighter one.

who asked you (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flipa.gif) that is not a option for me. Try hauling all your AX crap and your wife / SO in your 914, doesn't make for a fun time. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) Joseph I sent you a PM, thank you (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) |

check out these trailers.....a place here in Austin makes custom trailers that look like your car. I wonder if they could make one for a 914. It probably wouldn't hold much.
