Tom M Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Hello Mike, I am in the process of drawing up plans for a airborne trailer as I have 2 in pieces that need a new body and central spar. I am happy to share dimensions with you or even the drawings, if you can wait until I finish them. I am also looking to get a quote for for getting the body panels pressed. Anyone out there had one made before who can give me an indication of the cost? Tom M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artifficer Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Hi Guys Have a look at Milweb trailers, there's a pair of generator trailers for sale, 1 without genni.

I've known the vendor for 30 years and he's had lots of experiance with airborne trailers, he's down in Sussex so a bit of a treck if your north of the Thames.

Regards Robin (Tiffy) Robin, Not surprisingly at that price, they sold almost immediately. It also included a remains of an No1 and the two in the photo were just intended to be for spares to restore it. Somebody got a bargain!

Hello Mike, I've not forgotten. Just in the middle of a house move at the moment and trying to make some space to build the trailer bodies. I can send you what I have if you want, but it is only dimensions of the tub without the reinforcing struts, or the central chassis spar, so not sure it would be much use yet.

Jerryjeeprichard Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Hi all. its a while since I posted on here. Good to see the airborne trailers are still keeping a good following. Thought I would offer these to you guys first before I put them on ebay or the likes. In the process of having a clear out of all my left over trailer parts. I've owned, restored, rebuilt 8 mk1s and have a collection parts left over. 4 axles with hubs, drums and back plates, some with break fittings some without. 2 of the axels are the standard short axle to suit the airborne Mk1. Then 2 axles are longer I believe they would have been fitted on the GS trailer??? They can be cut down to match the shorter axle think its a 4" section. 4 narrow 16" wheels 3 wide 16" wheels 1 solid narrow 16" wheel. two full sets of springs. one set heavy duty, one standard set. both interchangeable. 10 spare sets of shock-absorbers 2 complete sets of Mk1 spring and shock-absorber mounts. These have been taken of trailers I have cut up. deemed to good to scrap. All have been shot blasted and put in primer. 1 front Tow hook complete. 2 front tow hook rings, small size. PM me if there is any interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
