Thread: RR 2-door into a trailer

Great Idea, I did the same with my SWB rag-top, had another car for spares, cut the chassis, made a drawbar, had 2 spare tyres sitting on the drawbar flat against the bulkhead. didn't need brakes as it was under 750Kg (I think that was the requirement) I might have a photo, I'll see if I can find it....
You could fit free-wheel hubs to the trailer to stop the diff centre turning while you drive, then you have a spare set of them too!!
but you will have to fill the diff with oil so the wheel bearings get oiled!

Or you could put front half shafts in....... or old bent axles cut down..... or even just a blank flange......... Or just take the diff out completely and make a tube like I did and keep the original springs etc...... Cheaper than $200+ for FWH and an extra 80 odd kilos for the weight of the diff.........

Personally, I wouldnt use the chassis either as it adds a fair amount of un needed weight that you have to tow around plus allow for when you need to put brakes on it........

See my pics on the photobucket link below. ANd it only weighs 340kg.
