I will be aquiring a trailier with a few missing parts and will need to make them. Here's what I need: 1. Measurements for the aluminum I beam between the rear wheels. Width, height, Length, and thickness. Also bolt hole locations and diameter. Guess you've figured out by now this is one of the missing parts. 2. Measurements for the "ramp" for the monowheel. Length, width, height, and thickness. 3. Did anyone get any assembly instructions with the trailer? Any chance they could be scanned and emailed.

I ordered a locking SPRL cap from Spruce, since it appeared to be the same as what was shipped with my kit, but it appears that the manufacturer has changed the design slightly since I took delivery of my kit in 2002. The old flange won't work with the new style cap. Short of major surgery to install a new flange, I don't see a way to get a locking cap now that the design has changed. Anybody know where I can get an old style locking cap? I tried Europa 2004 and they didn't respond to my e-mail. I also tried the SPRL factory website, but I don't see the type used on the Europa (old or new). Spruce's customer service wasn't any help, either. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I am using safety torx screws as a door lock (tapped into wood and aluminium of handle into a strike). The safety torx is a torx with a pin in the center. Take a look at your cap close and you can probably drill and tap and lock your cap. Not much chance someone will have a safety torx on hand. I am more concerned about someone putting something that ain't supposed to be in the tank. Same goes for the oil.

I don't remember all of the reasons but it seems that it has much stronger sidewalls which leads to better steering. If you are going to use the europa tire, my dimensions won't work. You will have to have the ramp and the structure manufactured if you don't have any of it. The way it attatches to the axel I-beam needs to be very strong and the factory trailer came with an insert to the I-beam to stregthen it. My scanner doesn't work so I can't email you drawings but I could draw them and fax them. Again, my tire is larger and I had to modify the factory trailer.
