Where to buy a new trailer axle?
I've decided to make my rib trailer my new project, I can't justify dipping in to my pocket for a nice new shiny one.
I need to replace the brakes, and I mean ALL it components so I'm thinking it would be easier and more cost efficient just to buy a new axle all made up.
I remember a thread a while back about a recommended supplier for such a thing but can't find it.
Anyone point me in the right direction?
I also need cables, a hitch for 70mm box section and a replacement rear swing beam.

Or, you could try the guys who make indespensions axles for them:
Meredith & Eyre Trailers | Tilt Bed Trailer | Plant Trailers | Tipper Trailer
They made several axles for me a few years ago at @60% of Indespensions price, and delivered them in around 10 days.

Where to buy a new trailer axle?
I've started using these http://www.rothwelltrailers.co.uk bits might be worth a call for a price loads cheaper than Indespension
I can always stick it on a pallet for you

Hi Alan, iv'e just done my trailer a wee while back, an indespension roller coaster as well,
