Trailer Wheel Well

WhiteStar · Aug 26, 2011

I bought a small utility trailer and don't like the way the wheel wells are on it. I'm afraid that if I load small stuff on it, they'll slip under and either get into the wheel or fall through and I'll lose it.

I don't have a welder or much metal fabrication capabilities. Is there something I can easily do/buy that can cover them completely on all sides?

Thanks,

John

You might consider plywood. Predrill holes in the plywood to use as guide for holes in fender flange.

You'll need a wrench holder to assist you...maybe could get by with self tapping fasteners.

Good luck...and let us know, please, what you end up doing.

Get some sheet metal and pop rivet it on both sides of the fenders.

Thanks guy's. I'll see if I can find some sheet metal first, if I can't, I'll start with some plywood and make something.

And bend a flange about 1- 1 1/2 inch to screw down to the plywood deck.
