Following advice from Clive Wood I got the LDC conversion kit for larger trolley tyres from LDC. I had to cut the aluminium tubing to allow for the extra tyre width. The resulting conversion works well, is a little heavier but the tyres are not so over large that they make removing the trolley difficult on launching. The trick on a sandy beach is to get the boat and trolley slightly into the water, then when you remove the wheels the boat should not sail into the distance while you are parking the trolley at the top of the beach.
Due to metal fatigue the aluminium axle snapped around the rivet holding the supporting trolley cup to the tubing. A local metal works has welded the tubing together and replaced the rivets. The job looks good but I thought aluminium was difficult to weld. Do you think this repair will last ??
