Default building a trailer

The trailer was a lightweight luggage trailer and unbraked


That's ok then (and why I added the "if you were doing the brakes
bit") ;-)

I don't think I *had* to have brakes (even then) but as I had the
means and interest I though it might be a good idea (and I still
believe it was). ;-)

There are times when I 'lock out' the overrun brakes (like when it's
empty) as because they are undamped it can sometimes get a bit
'choppy' if you have to brake quickly (rather than firmly) etc.

All the best ..
