Hi,

 

A friend of mine has one and half trailers in pieces in his shed. The half trailer has all the pieces, he was very festidious about preserving all the fittings, but body rotted away. We originally planned to rebuild them both using the first as a pattern, but I haven't the time and luckily came across a restored and original one. I will ask him if he is interested in passing it on.

Hi Tom

I did send you a PM but not sure if you received it as not showing in my sent files.

Im very interested if you can PM me with info. Collection would not be a problem.

My tub is rotten all around the base about 6" up and floor.

I need to rebuild the rear panel as its been cut down into a tailgate.

I have removed all the added on brackets and lights back to basic bare tub and chassis.

Any help greatly appreciated

many Thanks

 

Paul

Hi,

Good to hear of another Lightweight trailer in restoration. Here is a link to some photos of the restoration of one of my trailers. Also an Orme Evans from the same 7130 contract:

Excellent John, thank you for sharing these, great reference for me.

Drawings went into fabricators today for all repair panels and new draw bar.

Looking for a local source for bolts and fixings, most are salvageable but may as well go whole hog. A mix of BSF and Whitworth by looking at them.

John, can you please measure your square beam axle from inside hub. Full width if you can. Mines been chopped about. Is it 45 1/2 "?? Need to source new material.
