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!

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......
