Hello Everyone, I bought this Trailer last August and towed it all the way to Malta it survived the 2000mile journey, fully loaded with parts without a single problem Departure Day Black forest Germany Straight away i started taking things apart with the intention to get everything working and storing it until i finish my Rover 8 FFR but i got carried away the front bit was quite rotten and there was no way i could repair it so i ended up rebuilding the whole front and finally this is how it looks now more photos here http://s719.photobucket.com/user/cstivala/library/Brockhouse%20Half%20Ton%20Narrow%20Track%20MK1?sort=3&page=1 I will try to update at least weekly Chris

thanks for that clive. the trailer is a mk1 Brockhouse 1/2 ton narrow track the housing should be original because i have seen it on other identical trailers. what you said makes sense. i will blast and paint the inside and leave it then thanks

hi all, a quick question about the ball eye shaft housing it says 'DO NOT LUBRICATE' is it supposed to be filled with grease to self lubricate? Chris

martin has been released and flown back to Malta and landed a few hours ago! thanks for all of you who wished him a safe return http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20140728/local/update-3-abducted-maltese-released-thanks-maltese-consul-in-libya-for-saving-his-life.529672 Chris

Our Thoughts are with Martin (ltwtbarmy) and his family who has been kidnapped in Libya by the Rebels while on his way to work on the 17th of April. http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20140725/local/update-3-no-assurance-that-abducted-maltese-man-is-alive-pm.529200 Chris

hi ivor thanks for the interesting news the wing came off a donor vehicle im afraid and the other one is not light stone however the rover 8 im restoring is very likely from the same batch of vehicles that served in the middle east it would be nice to see any photos because i dont have any history RLC museum dont have records for mine either according to geoff fletcher my chassis number became 08EK67 and was under contract WV496 but might not be correct because in that contract there were only 12v vehicles while mine has a lot of 24V evidence

hi all, found this painted on RHS wing of a series 2a Land rover, does it have any meaning apart from the obvious no8? Chris

made my own NATO plug didnt feel like spending 50pounds since its temporary

this is a little bit complicated because i just bought a sankey but the lights dont work so the owner fitted additional lights with the 7 pin connector so i just need a solution just to collect the trailer. once the lights are repaired i will no longer need the 7pin system

thanks clive yes the trailer has the 7 pin type the article you sent me will surely come handy thanks

hi all, i am looking for a 12pin Nato Plug to make an adapter to wire up the lights on a civvy standard trailer (dont know the proper name) i was also told that a ready made adapter is available, anyone knows who sells them? thanks Chris

at least now we have an idea of what it is thanks everyone

empty... owner thinks it was used as a mobile tool shop... he once found a photo of one like it on the web it was painted red forgot to say the front box isnt part of it

Hi all, I came across a trailer which I haven't manage to find any info about it... I couldn't take a photo of the manufacturer plate but it's dated. 1956

definitely will not be installing a 90a system... i will decide when its next to go on Chris
