Just a bit more work on the trailer

Trying to check off some more items from the to-do list.

Here are the new 316 stainless bolts with the UHMW spacers and the wedge shims as well.  I may have the wedges tack-welded in place.

I drilled holes for the wiring in the ends of the cross-members.  This is a low-stress location and the nearby welds should be sufficient support.  I was careful to deburr the drilled holes also to prevent from making a stress-riser of a sharp edge or a crack.  That has the added benefit of not chafing on the wires.

Here is a shot of the angle that will be welded to two of the cross-members, in order to support the end of the 4x8 plywood decking sheets butting together.  I'm confident in this supporting the plywood.

It's progressing.  Work remaining prior to welding:

• Drill holes for wiring to pass through the ladder rungs' webs.  It's much easier now than later.
• Mount the trailer tail-light brackets with a UMHW spacer for dissimilar metals.
• Buy & mount the amber side-lights.  This is probably fine after welding though.
• Make additional wedge shims and position those for welding
