[QUOTE="AZSunDevil, post: 437844, member: 22381"] Decided to put some work into the trailer this week. Yanked all ofnthe old crappy rollers and brackets off of it. Bought four CE Smith Bunk Bolster Brackets online, to try and go with bunks Instead. Also bought some 2x6x10's at big blue box store for $14 went with kiln dried Douglas fir. Cheaper and better weight displacement than to replace the old crappy rollers and rusted brackets. Not entirely sure I'm doing this right but it seems to work. I mocked it all up to see if everything will align. Next need to spar varnish the 2x6s and carpet them.

Decided too much work to pull all the benches out. Don't want to deal with all of that riveting to remove and replace. So in need of a blind rivet to replace factory blind rivets that attached the spar to the bench.
