Ah, I see, well its a good idea. Was just thinking how I could possibly fabricate something similar. Mine is not nearly as bad as the one shown in blue, but I could stand to move it 1/4".

Dave, on my trailer the hinge plate is at an angle w.r.t the side rails. How did you deal with that in terms of jack bolt alignment? Is the jack bolt in your design perpendicular to the hinge plate?

Thanks,

PS. I am glad I am looking at this because my hinge plate bolts, while not broken, were certainly bent. and corroded.
