Trailer Question

[sox]

Not sure if this is the right place to post , but I have a question. I just bought a enclosed car trailer and was wondering how you hang your spare slicks on the wall. I have a screwless exterior wall trailer. I really don’t want run fasteners thru the exterior wall. I have 3/4 “ plywood interior walls. Any suggestions?

We build our trailer with a 2 x 2 Square tubing on a 16 inch
center the length of the trailer. I would hang a bracket between
two of the square tubes with self-taping screws. Now if you
have a cheap trailer with angle instead of square tubing = you
will have to remove part of the interior walls and fab some brackets
to the angle.

I took pit pal slick mounts cut the mount part off the square tubing, welded them to flat
Stock so the tire would go flat against the wall , drilled pilot holes used self tapping fender bolts fits nice and tight,

3/4" Plywood interior walls?

Pit pal make a couple things for storing your spare. One is like a pocket that goes on the floor up against the wall. Another is for putting it up on the wall. The one up on the wall needs bolts through one of the ribs inside the sidewall. Or it will come loose as the trailer bounces down the road.

We made ours from Super Strut channel--- same stuff electricians use then mounted them vertically to the same upright ribs they screw the plywood to---we then used 2 pieces of threaded rod about 5/8 inch and double nutted the rod to the slots in the channel spacing them to correspond with the bolt pattern of the wheels/rims---next we used a large piece of plastic stock to protect the rim which is mounted against the wall with the bolt protruding thru it and the plastic--- then we just used flange nuts we tightened down against the plastic and rim really tight- use a ratchet NOT FINGER TIGHTEN the nuts - it clamps the wheel to the wall isn't going to go anywhere IF you do it right---for a little bit of insurance we put a short piece of angle stock running horizontally snug underneath each tire to prevent it from sagging down--- its hokey and cheap about $25-35--- but it will work if you do it right--- buy yourself some slick covers like Jegs or Summit seems to cover the slicks from the sunlight when the *** end of the trailer is facing into the sunlight--by the way I think your walls are 3/8 inch NOT 3/4 inch-FED 387
