Drawbar A-frame
(Preview)
So I want to get the centre mount jockey wheel. My A-frame does not have the cross-section on it. So it would be okay if I took it in to get welded in? The only other issue would be to reroute the handbrake cables as they currently first run down the centre and then out to the sides. TIA
