Did the final assembly and parts replacement on the Pride's trailer today.

The biggest drama I had was fitting the wheels to the hubs. I bought two packs of mag wheel lug nuts and a pack of lock nuts. The issue was that the supplied washers were about 1.3mm too large in diameter for the recesses in the alloy wheels. I'm guessing the difference is metric to imperial measurements. I had to cut about 1.4mm out of all the washers with a hacksaw, then tap them back into shape gently with a hammer. Worked a treat and nuts are very snug. I may need to fit some rubber wheel arch flare to the guards on the outside, as the sidewalls are sitting proud of the guard. I'll find out next weekend when I go for the Blue slip rego inspection.
