Sorry, Erik, I've got no answers for you, but that picture of the Kit frame is sure worth saving. I'd love to know the height, width and thickness of the frame material, as it demonstrates pretty clearly how little chassis a teardrop really needs.
I like the way the tubular tongue pieces are bolted to the angle or channel frame as soon as they disappear under the trailer body. Maybe this is a 1946 scam - keep the customers happy with 'strong' tube where they can see it, but don't bother wasting money by using it for all the frame!!
Have you not kept the old bits of wood that you stripped off the trailer? Because the position of the bolt holes in the floor and the mounting tabs on the frame would give you your answer.
