All,
I've come into an interesting situation on my build.
The trailer has five pieces of angle iron making up the cross members down the length of the trailer.
From the back to the front I fastened the floor down with three bolts in each cross member (one bolt in the center). However, on the final/front most cross member it is made up of two pieces of angle so that its like square stock. I would need six or seven inch bolts to go all the way through.
Additionally, for whatever reason the trailer has a slight slope between the last two members resulting in it sitting a quarter inch or so below the floor. So even if I do bolt the floor to that last cross member it will pull it out of level.
I thought about using a shim but now I'm starting to wonder if I should even mess with it. Is there any reason not to leave it unbolted? I already have twelve 3/8 bolts on nylock nuts and washers covering 80% of the floor. It's not going anywhere.
Thoughts?
All input is appreciated
