    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

    Must admit they do have a certain attraction,this one bounces abit as 1 tyre has flat spot,1 tyre holds air,1 is a spare (swapped it to go on my EEC as taking it to local show..)&the other tyre has big split in it..hard rubber,

    Been doing some work on the bowser this weekend,removed the wood floor n all the farm welded additions,power washed off n sprayed with oil,chassis wants some of the corroded bits sorting 2of the tyres split.found some numbers above makers plate 26745..could this be the year of manufacture?? also the part remains of some white lettering on chassis just before makers plate starts with a G"orC" &ends with an E"?? still looking for a swivel towing eye for it.Noticed the chassis bends in narrower at turntable end(see pics)unlike my EEC which is straight,any feedback welcome...

    i have a container with afew items in waiting to be restored one day but keep getting distracted with other things (trailers),got a Lister L stationary engine that was seized up for years in one of the old buildings at ours it had the piston stuck in its top stroke when turned off last,my uncle shud have turned it now & again n poured some oil down it if he wasnt going to use it again..would have saved me the 2yr job of unseizing it,shud have it ready for fireing up soon..making trolley at mo.:nut:
