Functioning jockey wheel. :bling

A spare servo horn
3x6mm bearings
A 3mm screw
7mm brass tube
6mm Axial threaded pipe.
Wheel from my LHS and styrene wheel housing.

The whole thing will pivot 90 degrees and lock into place horizontally when the trailer is being towed, same as a full size one.

Awesome trailer man, I love all the little details you've incorporated into it.

Styrene is some pretty cool stuff, once you start building with it you cant hardly quit.
Just finished an interior built from scratch and now working on a clod body,I love working with the stuff.

Hey, sorry for the absence everyone. We sold our house and moved and we were living with my relo's for a few weeks until we got into our house. So all my stuff was in storage the whole time.......man I was going crazy without all my toys!!! But I'm back in business now with a new workspace and itching to go. With the new year brings some new ideas for this project and a couple of others that I have up my sleve that I'll start threads on sooner or later.

Hope everyone had a good christmas and new year and thanks again to everyone that voted for my January ride of the month.

Added a bike rack and tail lights. They're just left over stickers from an old kit.

Just held on with cable ties, but they look like straps i guess!

And a simple swinging bracket to act as a tailgate latch.
