    Started repairing the 2 wheel archs today, there are 4 repairs to do which are about 8" x 4" which tock about 2 hours to complete the first one. the size is deceptive in the photos but these are huge unwieldly archs for 11.00 tyres.

    RAC is ok for vehicles up to 3 ton but Adrian Flux covered vehicles upto about 9 ton.

    The 4 wheels are in a very poor state, this is the best one which should take a couple of hours to repair but one of them is so far gone that even the lips have rotted off.

    The rear section of the chassis is much worst that I first thought and the photos dont realy show the extent of the corrosion so rather than waste time cutting out and welding patches in I have decided to have some sections made and weld in a new rear part.

    Hi Guys where can I get a spring like this for my 20cwt Bowser Trailer ? anybody recognise a silimar one on a modern trailer ? once I attempt to dismantle the handbrake assembly with heat & brute force the spring is going to disintgrate.
