Morally Flexible's Trailer Build - British Military Trailer

I second scrapping the wiring and run a 7 pin pigtail from the coupler back.

I'd like to keep the original lights (if they work) and pull new wires from the coupler back to the lights and then figure out what wire goes with what function. Should be interesting. I may just drop those lights and get some LED versions of it, but that will depend on price. Right now my theme is "Bubble Gum and Duct Tape this beast to together"

It kind of looks to be similar to a bullet connector.

Hi Dan, I have been thinking about your project, specifically the use of expanded wire mesh as a floor. I am thinking the edges may have to be overlapped with lightweight angle iron or flat stock to cover the sharp/jagged edge and to secure the mesh in place. Many small tack welds are prone to breaking, I know in our shop we are constantly repairing gates and mesh floors, albeit they are getting abused with mowing equipment.
Just my .02 cents
