Bob trailer

[teabagger11]

I have an older Bob trailer with the old std spacing with a 29 fork on it(that's what they call the part that connects the bike to the trailer to void confusion). I was curious if anyone has updated a Bob to the new wider thru axle conversion with the old std fork?
This will make it much easier for me to haul equipment out to do TM.
I also understand there will be some massaging of the old fork to fit the new std
TIA

I have to stretch @jdog's a bit, and hit it with a mallet to get it on the bobbins of my ebike.

That looks custom, nice

I started attempting to make a custom fork but kind of lost momentum on the project after a while. This post is a good reminder to get my ass in gear again.

Thanks. Had to build a model out of wood, take it to my neighborhood machinist, and have them fabricated.
