I have spent a lot of time on this site getting great ideas from all ya'll's builds. I still have a few things to do to mine however, I thought I'd share these pics of my trailer.








Thanks,

Ray

How did the horizontal mount of the gas cans work out? I've looked at the same approach but clearance issues with removing the retention bracket stopped me.

I went with Adventure Trailers fuel can bracket and I couldn't be happier. I had the same problem with the locking strap and decided the I would cut the strap at the bend and install a hinge. I riveted them on and it looks like it came that way since the whole bracket is riveted to begin with. You can see the hinge in behind my beer in the picture below. I also added a L bracket at the end of the strap to keep it from sliding. I'll take a picture tonight so you can see what I mean. These brackets are awesome the will hold a full can of fuel or water and it doesn't move at all. I did have to use spacers to get some clearance from the body of the trailer so the can will clear the rack I have on the tongue and I cut off the handle on the corner of the tub. I usually keep fuel cans in the brackets all the time just to keep the strap from rattling.


you can see the hinge behind my beer

Strap hinges up to access fuel/water can

Restoration is done but the mods have not begun!

Here are close ups of the hinge and L bracket I added to my Fuel Can Carrier.


the L bracket is riveted to the body of the carrier and not the strap. this allows the strap to pivot up in order to angle the can out of the carrier.

hope this helps

Look forward to seeing this build... I just picked up a '46 Ben-Hur (looks mostly just like your Sears trailer) last week... but I have to get it de-rusted and painted

The season is winding down, but it was a good year, and the second year for the trailer. I look forward to next year already!

Awesome! Thank you! I had kicked around the idea of a hinge but I like how you carried through by riveting part of the strap to the carrier body.

Always a work in progress.
