The RE/RCT Willenhall type cabs are made of pressings which are far more difficult to replicate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKES Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 What saved the then owner was the spare wheel davit which fortunately was fitted and took a lot of the force when it rolled. A lucky escape and a good reminder of why you meed to keep your air brake system in good condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
