in the bottom trailor, below the winch you can see two handles either side... where the hell can I get some that clamp on? to mine! Ive searched high and low and cant seem to find any anywhere!?

Can you find someone to weld a bar on for you. A 5 minute job & much stronger than bolting on. I'd have a word with a few garages as a start - £20 and a bit of old 'scrap' tube and hey presto !

I think that one with two winches is for a couple of jetski's hence the need for two separate ones.
Might be wrong though!

The easiest way is to buy a new post. http://www.trailertek.com/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?REFPAGE=http%3a%2f%2fwww.trailertek.co .uk%2facatalog%2fRoller_Assemblies.html&WD=post&PN=Miscellaneous_boat_trailer_fittings.html%23a1_2 1WIN135#a1_21WIN135
Hi, Its easy to make your own. 1"x16" long tube, a couple of handle bar grips and a standard trailer U bolt. The strenght is fine!!.
Dont get into welding your galv dipped trailer coz it will rust around any welds unless treated.:thumbs::thumbs:

And give off some really nasty fumes while you do it.

Snipe are now owned by Mersea Trailers in Colchester, Essex. Might be worth giving them a call - they did me a short drawbar version of an old Snipe design and using a very old design of winch post so it would all go in the garage..... I dealt with someone called Sarah.
They also sold me a "bolt on" mast step for my dinghy trailer, but that was when Snipe were independant and still in Brum.
I should also add the usual disclaimer that I'm nothing more than a happy customer......
