I have had the narrow Indespension manual for many years and built a few
trailers, using their parts and based on the plans in the book.
The new A4 sized ... book has a lot more information ........ bought it
and dumped the old book.
However just noticed today that the section on Trailer plans is not in
the new book ......... Indespension confirm they have 'discontinued'
providing the plans.
About now I feel stupid for throwing away old manual ....
Does nay one have the old manual, and feel like scanning the plans
section and putting them somewhere for download ?

While you are here, do you have any experience of repairing old
suspension units?
I have an ancient four wheel plant trailer which has stood loaded for so
long that the suspension units do not recover to the 30deg. mentioned in
the catalogue. Having priced some replacements, I put it back in the
barn!

Do they not have any of the old ones? This sounds like a cock up on their
side to me.

a single approval must be inspected and approved before use now. The
big manufacturers get type approval.

There have been at least two A4 sized indespension books over the years with the

plans in, dating sometime from the late 80's to the mid 90's. I can't even
recall ever seeing a *smaller* version. I will still have copies about somewhere
as that kind of thing never gets thrown away - although I can't even think where
they would be.
They presumably discontinued the plans because of the EU mandated plating / type
approval requirements that effectively made homebuilds 'illegal' from a couple
of years ago - albeit easy to circumvent for 'unplated' trailers with a few dabs
of paint, spray on rust and mud etc.
