New gal axle, springs, eye bolts, u bolts and fish plates fitted
 Some great progress on the Starfire's trailer today. Picked up a new gal 73 inch axle from Trailer Sales in Mortdale, and a pair of used 215/65R14 tyres to my bargain ROH alloys.

Pair of used 215/65R14 tyres fitted to my vintage ROH alloys
 I cleaned up both sides of the wheels, I think there was twenty plus years worth of brake dust and oily gunge on the inside! I'll be painting the inside of the rim and the insides of the cutouts in black gloss anyway.
hubs and bearings fitted
I removed the mudguards today...the mounting bolts were very rusted but they all came off cleanly. I'll be painting the guards in gloss black and refitting them with stainless bolts & nuts.
Painted the mudguard support brackets after removing the guards. One needed some minor panelbeating work :-/
