Default WTB: Tailwheel Cavity for Glider Trailer

Ok, how about this:

1) Cut hole in trailer under tailwheel
2) Cover rear fuslage and tail wheel area in plastic food wrap
3) Lay several layers of fiberglass cloth & resin over the hole in
trailer
4) Lower plastic covered tailwheel onto the wet cloth letting it push
down in the hole.
5) Block the tail up at the correct height.
6) Let the glass cure, trim, paint and attach with pop rivets.

The result should be worthy of any dump truck.

I almost clicked checkout on one of these.....and then I realized how
comical this shiny and perfectly engineered Cobra part would look
against the backdrop of my glider and trailer. It would be like
putting a Ferrari seat in a dump truck.

All joking aside thanks for the input.....just seemed a little
overkill.
