Brian James Trailers

[TVRleigh_BBWR]

Hi Do any of you know what model you are using.
Do I need the 6'1" load width version (CM9-T-042), or is the 5' 7" better (CM9-T-040)
I know with a Tasmin I'm going to need a 1,350 load capacity

Look like I'm just going to order a new one, this way I can get what I need, plus the price of second hand is not much difference.

hi mate,
my trailer is a clubman 185 which is perfect, i think a 5' 7" is a bit tight,
but keith has now got an ifor williams wich is better in my opinion, and cheaper i think,
regards
tim.

I've had both in the past and as tim says i think the IW was better.

The thing you need to watch with a new BJ trailer is what it comes with and what you need to add!!! BJ trailers come without much, and the options can be expensive. I would also strongly recomend you get the trailer centre boarded what ever you buy.

Hi Do you know what model he got, and an idea of price, as they don't seem to list prices.
Do you know if they do tyre racks like the Brian James.

[tbdgriff500]

pop on the i w website, either of the car transporter ones looks fine but keith has the 2600kg one.

A-Max is better all round, Better ramp loading, wide bed as std and diff lengths available.

Ordered a new IFOR Williams 136HD 1650 + Vat with tyre rack, and spare wheel.
2600KG down-plated to 1800KG.
Going to be 4 weeks, but need to try and get car to workshop before that so I can do some prep. work.

Sounds like good value but why is it down plated?

See bold text i.e. 1800KG, so will give me 1300KG of load. more than enough for a Tasmin and 8 wheels. plus have more option of what car I can use.

I got about £200 discount also.

Fair enough as long as you aren't falling into the " you can't tow a heavier trailer than the plated weight of your car" misleading info trap.

Well I had a lot of miss-leading information, and can't find a full answer, so just going to be safe, and have it plated to match my tow vehicle and what I'm going to be carrying. if they match, they I'm not going to have any problems, all well and good saying you can, but if plod stop you and you have to spend hours talking about it or having to produce or goto court (even if your not charged) its still a lot easier if you can have things match.

True, as someone else said elsewhere, being in the right doesn't stop your weekend being ruined by plod who doesn't know one end of the law book from the other.

Never have sex with a woman with a bigger body mass than your own!! The same is true for your tow car.

Buy a landrover. no problems

Apart from the breakdowns that is.

Well going to be using a T350 Transit, so will have a bigger mass then the tow load, and even more so with all the race kit on board.

Grrr,

Was told 4 weeks 6 weeks ago, was then given the 24th, now they have material problem in the factory and not sure if I'll get it this month.

[TVRleigh_BBWR]

All sorted done a deal with Sam, so should be picking his old one up in the week.

[TVRleigh_BBWR]

Anyone know what tire pressure you should run on the trailer.
