C26 Spreader Broken

Post by tgentry »

When we put Copacetic on the trailer we found a spreader had broken. It broke right at the point of a hole that had been drilled at some point for a spreader light.

We got lucky, but I would suggest everyone inspect their spreaders, especially if they've drilled any holes in them.

I intend to make two new ones and keep the unbroken old one as a spare.
