Quick SOA conversion question: On a box trailer

Post by -Nemesis- »

I'm just wondering, is a spring over conversion on a simple non-braked box trailer simple? Is it just a matter of flipping the u-bolts and springs to the other side and doing it back up?
Or is there more involved?

you also have to remove the bolt that holds th leafs together and flip it as well as it's normally too long

Thinking down that path, is the "axle" drilled all the way through?? will you need to flip it so that the pack can locate?

Next dumb question is it legal, how do they know if your 76 homebuilt trailer had one or not?

My trailer compliance plate reads "home made", so after it was made, I home made it SPOA, and as far as I'm aware, if it came from the manufacturer like that, then all is good. :) The RTA in NSW have never asked to inspect it since it was new either for some reason.
