Looking for A frame tongue lengths and widths

Postby Esteban » Mon Oct 08, 2007 2:20 pm

Some time ago I saw a chart that Mike did showing 50 degree angle A Frame Tongue sizes. For typical lengths it showed the width too. I've searched to find it and and can't. Does anyone know where it is? I'd like to see it again. It might make a good sticky in the Chassis Secrets forum. :thinking:

Thanks, Mike, that's what I was looking for. It'd be a good information to make a sticky for the Trailer and Chassis Secrets forums - perhaps with a link to Andrew's Tongue Strength information.Tongue Strength & Design Information :)

Edit, I added it to the frame building sticky.

50 degrees is the standard angle for A Frame couplers. A sample A Frame coupler
