Almost Mobile - Axle Mounted

For softer travel and longevity of our vintage Airstream, we changed from the original leaf spring axles to torsion axles.

The center belly pan is prepared and positioned for rivets.

The new torsion axles are mounted.

 The axles are bolted onto the mounting plates, and the brakes are wired.

Trailer shocks were installed, attached to the shock mounts in the wheel well.  This photo shows the street-side wheel well that was reshaped with an adjusted offset for room for the toilet.
