I want to get two metal front wheel channels made up that i can bolt to the floor of my box trailer when i use it to transport the bikes.

i was going to call around some metal fabricators but i thought i would see here first if someone was able to do it - i would rather pay someone here than a stranger.

or has anyone in sydney seen any pre made in stores?
anyway if youve got the time and resources and your interested give me a yell.

thanks for the help

just go to a metal supplies store and ask for them to supply square $thickness channelling of x by y by z long. cut it up and drill the mounting holes and voila, there really isnt much to it.

I'm with mike on this one, couldn't get easier than that and would be the cheapest option.

Besides we are getting a rep. for being tight asses, arn't we

very good idea.
to be honest i hadnt thought of that.

all i could think of is welding and cutting steel etc and i dont have any equipment for that. really i dont need to do any of that stuff do i.

thanks for the tip

There are plenty of steel places around, although some may not cut a short length. Try someone like EziMetal, or some of the OneSteel Yards have trade counters you can go into. Theres always a casual Sunday Morning wander through Bunnings
