Presumably you'll put sealant around the cable in the hole to prevent movement.

Actually the numberplate light will probably need sealant once it is painted, but I've got rubber grommets to put in the holes so hopefully it prevents any chaffe and keeps the water out. Sealant in addition to this is a good idea!Quote:

Trailer is back from the Powder coaters now. It has been done in matt off white. In the sun you need sunnies on to look at it, its bright! Sand blasted, primed, 3hrs to put the powder coat on and baked. The owner has given me a lot of crap about doing it in white, she thinks Aztec Silver is the go! Admittedly we do use Aztec silver on most of the work that we send her and it is a good finish. I'm pretty pleased with how this has turned out though, it is amazing how paint can transform a project.
Now it needs reassembly.

Oh wow, I didn't finish this thread. The trailer components were reassembled post powdercoating and made mobile again.

Rego was done, sailed straight through, however the process was pretty slow due to RTA delays. Interestingly I'm now the manufacturer. The trailer weighs 560kg, GVM 1500kg, load capacity 940kg. I was hoping for 1000kg but the tie rails and roof racks may have tipped me over. Well, to be fair it has been built pretty strong, you would take it through the desert or up to the cape and not be worried about it not coming back.

Polycarbonate roof arrived and test fitted. This is prior to installation. The roof is a 3mm UV stable Polycarbonate opaque white roof so that it lets the light into the trailer and its not as dark as they normally are. It will also remove some of the weight so that it is easier to operate the opening roof on it. The top and bottom wrappers are still on the plastic sheet. That came off when it was screwed down.

I'll take some pics of the finished product a little later.
