Thread: converting 130 tub from drop down to side swing

Depending if you want to continue using landrover parts perhaps you could use a set of hinges from the back door of a 110 rear door.

From 'DRanged' - post #24 in your trailer build thread -http://www.aulro.com/afvb/projects-tutorials/125879-hcpu-tub-trailer-3.html - "the tail gate area (which I have converted to a swing gate with kitchen attached)"

I don't believe you can use a 130 tub.
Just because you are then reliant on the cab side and opposite side to your fabrication to retain the strength,the floor the only part having the steel re-inforcement element I am way doubtful it will hold up.
As they are, they are fab, but start butchery I reckon you will be on a hiding to nothing.
