I think it's a small A-frame specifically for that purpose. If it's original it would have been mounted upright on the n/s inner side of the bin forward of the steps. It can't be just a bar as the towed vehicle could swing round and smack the back of the Explorer. It looks like something has broken in the Stalwarts drive train, as the wheel stations are out of sync?

Enter User CP, then edit profile picture I think?

Morning! Crap telly, so feel the urge to have my say! See you in the morning?

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the comment on the photo. As described I don't know how long it took John Davis to get to that stage, but going by the length of time it took me to get the rest together, it was a long slog hence he sold it part done. Sadly the pictures at Johns yard/home are at least 8 years old, and the poor old truck lives outside with the Militant and the other Explorer PSY 954, and much of it could do with a good bit of tidying again! No peace for the addict! Also mentioned to Andy Fowler that my next Scammell has found me, a Pioneer Tank transporter unit! Too complete to scrap! Mostly cab work to do, hopefully? The most difficult part will be breaking the news to my long suffering wife, Jane!!

All the best, Jules

p.s. the Militant brakes have remained fine following your advice on the palm couplings! Thanks!
