Benny's Custom Works

Benny's Custom Works

Following the success of the 'Cresta vs Dragweek' series on MCMTV2, we decided to launch our very own channel!

Benny (aka: Mechanical Stig) is followed around by his camera man, producing quality car content not to be missed by anyone apart from maybe your grandma.

We're really excited to showcase what we do day to day at BCW, well the exciting stuff anyway. Throw a subscribe our way to follow along on our automotive adventures!

    The things to replace the bolts for the drop down legs are called clamping lever with external thread. You can disengage them to position the lever. If your brake plan doesn't work out, I for Williams sell hubs with drum brakes which probably fit that axle as a bolt on part. Great video, really enjoy this sort of stuff!

    Isle 11 at Mittagong Bunnings for the "Richmond Hand Bolt" (tripod style bolt). You can also get abit of angle and rivet it to the open tabs and you can just push down on it and slide the draws out 👍

    I's ditch those light clusters as well. I had them on my trailer and they were the bane of my life. Hit a bump and at least one of the bulbs moves and no longer makes contact. There's an LED cluster of the same size and shape which I fitted and has been faultless.

    The "headboard" that you deleted....perhaps you could add the to the back, stabilizing legs as you have done, piano hinge to join it...basically a tailgate, a work platform, somewhere to bolt a vice onto. It low but its a flat space to work?

    Never thought about making a slide out to simplify getting to things, i was going to build a trailer that the roof raised about 3’ with 3 of the sides will lift off….slide out floor will be lighter and more simple. Just cant if its a whole floor or a hole floor😂😂

    Space guards may just need a flame job. Did that to my plastic Ozito lawnmover and it's way faster now. I bet they were designed by a retired British aircraft engineer and save 5p per mile in fuel so should do it just to offend him. 👍

    7:35 Oh brother, its not really tolerance when you don't have a choice. I'm not going to crap up your comments with the political why's but its straight up: "bend over and get ready for what we say you can buy". The people running our country flood our markets with absolute trash chinese made products that have near zero standards of manufacturing. Then you end up paying 5$ for trash part that should cost 20$. This in turn drives up the quality part prices up further to 25$-30$. And then those quality manufacturers go out of business because they cannot compete with the prices and thus you end up with even MORE chinesium trash.
