Tom M Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 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. WANTEDParts rebuild / restoration of British 10cwt airborne trailer.

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 Edited July 30, 2017 by Hoseman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
