CART FAILURE

Post by Willie T »

I don’t know if any of the people chose to build the cart in the plans I sent them. But if you did, I have discovered a weakness in the design.

I dropped my cart from about four feet onto dirt, and both T’s that join the left side to the right side snapped off where the holes for the pins were drilled.

If it had been glued, and not pinned, I doubt it would have broken. But if you glue it, then you cannot take it apart for storage in your hatch.

I have found, however, in over two years of using this cart that I just finally quit taking it apart… I just put it back in my truck. It has always held up fine, but I guess this time I found just the right angle to snap the T's.

Soooo… it looks like I should have glued it in the first place.

Just wanted to make you aware of this.
