Interesting concept.....
Using a front axle disc brake hub...... genius..... strong.... readily available in scrap yard.....
I like the idea on Gord's BBQ.... the vertical square tubing is drilled for a bolt/nut...... copy that with a jack to raise it to the next hole.... bolt in place and relieve pressure on jack....good safety measure.....
Let's keep looking for odd parts and new idea....
Anybody else wants to chim in and make suggestions now is the time.....
I am on a course all of next week but anytime towards the end of Feb start of March we need to squeeze some gray matter together and come up with a design.... that will dictate how much steel we need..... we may have to visit the steel shop to see what sizes and tickness are available and what size square tubing slips into what larger size...ID and OD.. for a proper tight fit.....
I favour designing mine with one set of small car wheels/tires at one end.... the other end with solid adjustable legs..... as I will move it like a trailer using the farm tractor.... also allows me to go over rough ground to store in the back field...... could have removable wheels if they get in the way.....jack it up install wheel and tow it away.
.... and this way for the BBQ I can pull it to the back field and BBQ a whole steer !!!!!
Hang in there... keep thinking.
