Alloy keel rollers

[frankS]

Hi I'm doing up an old trailer to use under my Brooker project boat and thought I would make some alloy keel rollers instead of using shop bought items as I prefer to make as much of a boat and trailer set up myself rather than buying stuff.

Here is the result, stainless pins alloy brackets and alloy rollers.

Very nice indeed frank.Just make sure the doberman always stays tied to them at the ramp with the scum around.

Thanks guys. Fab1 Good point, I actually have them with 2 x R clips, one each end of the shaft, might have to change them to stainless split pins at least that way they would at least need a pair if pliers to get them off, could paint them black so they look like rubber.

I think i would put a run of weld round the end of the shafts  need a grinder then

Rick Even better idea I can weld stainless washers on the shafts before welding the alloy brackets onto the trailer.

And IF I ever need to get them off I could grind the washers off.
