Separated the front axle on my trolley so i can soak the swivel housings & hopefully persuade them to move,may have to use the trusty gas torch,got the drawbar moving with diesel & light tapping afew weeks back...all part of the fun!!

Here you Andrew, I knew I had a picture somewhere. Tim

Great pic,wouldnt mind that emailing to me so i can copy it to a disc to keep for reference etc. Thanks Tim

Well done , a nice trailer , on torsion bar suspension I bet it tows a treat ?

Its got 1 perished tyre on at mo so havnt fully tested it but suspension works good !!

Just taken delivery of a Bellemy fuel bowser complete with pump & engine.

Hi,

Could anyone with WW2 Brockhouse / Zwicky pump/ Lister Diesel engine/ 450 gallon towed trailer bowsers RAF , or the Bellamy 900 gallon RAF bowser WW2 please PM me, and also post images here on what you have., or have seen languishing in a field etc.

 

Even if its just the Zwicky pump, I must find someone with a pump for research work or sale.

A sprung 4 wheel drawbar trailer,10.50 x 13 tyres with mudguards, front of chassis rails extended by around 18" (to hold detachable sides?). Around 14 - 16ft long.

 

Plate 1 reads: M.O.S. TRAILER No. NV31751

 

Plate 2 reads: J B & Co Ltd 623064

 

I think it might be a 1950s trailer but can anyone confirm?

Yes its a brockhouse trailer,poss fuel bowser chassis..restoreing one at mo!

like it like it...........any idea of its date of manufacture , it looks like a WW2 pattern rather than a post war model .Any idea of what colour you are going to paint it?

I was informed that all RAF vehicles during WW2 were painted green wether that also covers bomb trolleys I`ve no idea?

Not sure of manufacture date,im trying to findout who made them,looks like a C type trolley,theirs traces of RAF blue on it,it had been half burried in grass at a caravan park on lincs coast for sum years which has seized the towarm & swivel peice (now unseized),the swivel housings on the end of the axles are still seized but im working on it!! i cut some addon steel off it,steam cleaned it off then sprayed it with oil,im trying not to get too sidetracked with it at mo as i want to get my bowser chassis done 1st but i carnt resist doing little bits at it,i need to remake the tiebar to steer it as its long gone but i have a friend with a museum nr lincs whos got one on a trolley i can take measurements &copy &theirs the brakes missing but i doubt i would find any to go on it.

Managed to aquire a bomb trolley at last..needs work!!

Wow, that is gorgeous.

 

I am curious, I have been asking about getting replacement plates made for my wide track trailer which the previous owner sand blasted, what a dolt!

 

Do you think your supplier could do that for me? Any clue on costs in ball park figures? Less than 100 pounds?

 

Robin

sent you email Robin re above:cool2:

Good work :thumbsup:

Thought id post a pic of the plate ive just had done,thanks to vintage brass plates for the superb job which looks better than the corroded tin one,got the bowser chassis in the shed ready to take it apart & start its restoration:nut:

Spotted this the other day whilst doing some contract work on a local farm,it was the traces of blue paint that drew my eye,the tyres are 7.50x10 (good),not sure if the body belongs but could have been altered using origional frame to suit current use.[ATTACH=CONFIG]110241[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]110242[/ATTACH]

Looks like it is off a WD Divided rim (same as CMP's as well), my guess a 13" trailer wheel

Correct..!:cool2:

What is the wheel rim for ? the WW2 US market is well catered for

 

Pete

The rims are from my EEC & brockhouse bowser trailer 10.5x13:cool2:

Thankyou Terry :-)

Hi Simon,

 

A friend of mine is making repro T plates, he found some reflectors but I cant recall what they were, he is sending me pictures when his latest batch is done so I'll ask when he's not as hectic.

 

Carleton

Hello,was just reading with interest your post re repo T plates,i was wondering if your friend has made/making some as i might be interested in a couple for my trailers if they same as origional type
