A double bracing across the big span - !


Did both sides - now I have a Spare if anyone needs an Emergency part.
One needed replacing, upper ball joint was losing it - the other side was Ok but 280,000 +
I do things in pairs...

New wheels - but there is something Odd...

So which is denser ?

Nitrogen in the Top and let the *air* out the bottom... or Vise Versa - not that I have any Nitrogen...
