Get a decent set of scales and make sure draw bar weight is 10/15% of the total and less than the max allowable for the towbar set. That should make it tow nicely and stop the car dragging it's bum all the way there and back

where would one find a set of scales like that!

(and how far in would I have to reach to fund them)

running dual axle, and will make sure the load is moved to level it out, but if I want to play by numbers... ?

would have to weigh trailer, with a separate scale under the jockey/hitch?

only weigh bridge I know of is in Guilford too.

re the video. yeah, pretty exciting stuff. cant wait for 90 mile straight /sarcasm.

going to shoot of a pic every 5 seconds, should come out to about 15 minutes of footage at 30fps.

Yeah.

Trailer defeats fun like paper beats rock.

You know that rock could tear the paper apart, but rules are rules, and you have to play by them

Sad panda.

Thinking caiguna, augusta, Melbourne.

OR smash a 15 hour day to eucla/border town, then I have no idea, but relaxes day 2 and 3.

^^^^

Having a quick look at the pictures in I am 99% confident that they are not the same front 4 piston caliper as fitted to FPVs. There are a heap of different 4 piston Brembo calipers and I would not be taking a gamble with them as they could be a waste of time an money. By the time you by the correct mounting brackets and lines these would cost a bucket load. I am sure you could make them fit with a custom make bracket but for $800 for caliper alone I would not bother.

I may have a full Brembo 4 pot and large rear PBR caliper kit with DBA T3 rotors and braided lines for sale in the not to distant future if any of you are looking for a brake kit for an FG.
