Please, please, please help!!!

I've bought a second hand trailer and it came with the load bars (not the tall ones that fit over the ABS lid). When i collected the trailer (in December!) the bars weren't fitted and now i'm trying to fit them i'm really struggling!!! The guy i bought it off just handed me a sandwich bag full of nuts and bolts and some metal plates that obviously clamp the bars onto the side of the trailer... But i have no idea how as there is no instructions... Not even sure they are the correct bolts!!!

Does anyone have these bars and have any advise/instruction on how they fit?

Thanks

Do you have to drill the side of the trailer to fit the bracket?

Chris

Have you tried asking the seller ?

If not possible, the trailer should have a makers plate somewhere. If you can find out who made it, have a look on their website. Instructions are often included there, or if not there might be a Contact Us with a phone number. They might even be willing to mail you the instructions.

Good luck.

It's a Daxara 127 which is the same as an Erde 122... I no longer have the sellers details (was 5 months ago now!). I have trawled the internet for downloadable instructions with no joy and called a few Erde dealers again with no joy!

Asking on here is my last hope before i sling the dam things!!!

Will go and check if there is a helpline number printed on the trailer somewhere

Cheers

Reemo try phoning Halfords and asking if anyone there knows but get one of the full timeres who knows their stuff and not one of the muppets.

If you have no luck there let me know (my email is on the Pillaton meet thread in central meets)

Hi Reemo - did you ever manage to get this sorted after? I've got a similar problem and was wondering if you had any pics of your load bars mounted to the trailer? Hoping you can help!

I am sure that you are right and you do need to drill the side panel the brackets sit on the top of the side panel with a bolt above the side then there is a lower bolt that you do need to drill the side panel for.

I will find out tomorrow and add instructions if I have some.

I found some fitting instructions for the fitting of ABS load bars but not standard loadbars

ABS fitting instructions
