I am putting together an aluminum enclosure for a tow bar carrier (think of it like a small bike rack off the tow bar, but enclosing it). Some notes:
Question 1 - Would it be OK to use Aluminum for the main bar going into the tow bar? Say 50x50x3.0 dimensions with 6060 T5 temper?
Question 2 - If not, what would be the approach to attach/fix an Aluminum frame onto a drawbar (with some crossbeams) which is steel?
thanks
- The enclosure frame is going to be with Aluminum.
- Weight to be carried is only ~45kg
- Towbar is reese hayman - so 50mm x 50mm square
- Main reason is I can then weld directly onto this as the rest is in Aluminium, plus keeps another item lighter weight in the design too
