2A Work Trailer

[Witchdoctor]

Got my hands on a great condition Series 2A 109 tub & roof that I'm going to make into a work trailer.
Im going to remove the bulkhead & position a new one a few 100 forward to maximise the space in the trailer. This will allow me to hing the roof right forward. The trailer will be setup clam shell like that way it will be easy to access & when shut very secure.
Im going to cut the roof down the centre & make the roof the same size as the tub. I will be using Land Rover hubs with disc brakes & the trailer will be set up as 1ton.

Cheers

Im going to use a boot latch setup to open the lid & lock & no pad locks on the rear to get knocked off

Thanks

Making slow progress on my new trailer.

Finally the 109 roof arrived in great condition, its a pity i have to cut it down & widen it.

I need to remove the factory fire wall to maximise the internal size of the trailer, so to do that i would need extra tub capping. I found a bloke in the NT that could supply the required caps as well as a rear Land Rover body badge. I could not do anything on it until the caps arrived, everything is marked out in anticipation but i could not start. I also picked up a sheet of 17mm structural ply for the full length low draw that will house the 10" compound radial arm saw right at the tail gate, the rest of this draw will hold the heavy consumables like nails, bolts & screws & the like in bulk. above the draw will be all the power tools in individual pigeon holes. There is enough room under the roof to house the transformer ladder as well as the compact saw bench.
I have also order some different led tail lights, they should not be far away.
The trailer body will be painted Galway Green to match my 90 with the roof painted Santorini Black

Should make a load of progress next week, i hope!

Cheers

I saw your post after posting this Pop.

I have removed the firewall/bulkhead in image 1.
I have also folded up a new bulkhead, i have cut the tub cap as in image 2 & ill fit the new caps & also run it along the top of the new bulkhead. That will also give me somewhere for the bottom of the continuous hinge to be attached to as well as some extra strength.

Did little more on the trailer.

Showing the removed bulkhead & the new bulkhead, i will have to add some extra sheeting in the wheel arches through to the new bulkhead. By doing this it has given me an extra 200mm in the draw as well as the upper section. I will reuse the old bulkhead capping so it all look right as i can make it.
I riveted a brace right near the old bulkhead to keep the body in shape once the old bulkhead is removed.
I also got the new lights in the mail, very happy how they look.

Made some more progress whilst dogging the showers

Fitted the new front bulkhead also cut down the new body caps. Very happy with how its all coming along. Also picked up the single pop out locking T handle & rods. I also picked up the Occo track & rollers for the centre draw, grabbed these from Struts Are Us in Nerang much cheeper that Ovesco, just saying.

Cheers
