I've re-drafted the outline so that the tubes can all be drawn from a stock 5.0 metre length. This meant that what I call the 'dog-bone' supporting a pair of motors was to become a 525mm length, and the cantilevers 675mm (excluding stop-ends).
This meant in turn that the combined length was 525 + 675 = 1200mm and a total of 4.8 metres four-off. To do this I reduced the clearance between props to a half-inch, and so in theory we could enlarge each length proportionally and it should hang together and improve the clearance.
Five-metre stock being over sixteen feet it is worth upping the length of dog-bone and cantilever combined to four, or 1220mm. To up the measurements using school math, we arrive at 537mm and 683mm respectively. A benefit of going larger is that we can always cut it back to what we see in the image if it all goes tits-up.
And whilst the centre-section here is a half-metre square, we can still use stock alloy sheet of this size to cap a slightly larger outline... the important thing being the overall width still fits inside the wheel-arches of the trailer.
Note to self therefore, 537mm the shorter and 683mm the longer (total 1220mm).
