Hi all, I’ve finally got around to restoring my binned stores trailer.

I’ve reconstructed the front draw bar with new C channel and original handbrake assembly, I’m going to weld it on and insert through bolts just to make sure it doesn’t break off

It might be a rolling trailer minus the binned stores by this Easter?? 

I don’t have a jeep anymore to tow it 😂

I haven't done much to the trailer since last time I posted, work and family commitments took priority!

i have some spare time this week and I'm hoping to sort the draw bar out this week and get a rolling chassis.

hey Richard do you have any spare bodywork for me to copy ??

If if it's still for sale I will buy it

Unused vehicle repair data plate. £35 plus pnp

Hi Simon, thanks for the pics and dimensions, that's exactly what I needs

best regards

dave

Hi Simon, is there any way you can get a few measurements for me please.

• Distance the plate is from the top rail
  
• length of plate
  
• length of the cut out that the handbrake lever sits in
  

Best regards

Dave

Hi John, thanks for the picture it all helps! It's a bit like a ship in the bottle set up.

yes I've got the ratchet plate and the handle.

i wouldn't mind the spare section you've got, drop me a line with a price.

best regards

Dave

Hi all, does anyone have a picture of the inside of the draw bar channel, I'm making one for my trailer but I'm not too sure how the hand brake ratchet plate attaches on the inside??

Dave

Hi anyone know of a company that could move a jeep tub from Eastleigh to Eastham

regards

dave

H John, I was the other high bidder on the trailer, it wasn't advertised very well and I thought I'd struck lucky, glad it's gone to a good home though.

it looks taller than the other one you had.

Dave

Hi Rob, thanks for the info. I have got a quote from a foundry in Bradford x 6 locks for £40 + vat in brass :cheesy:

Regards

Dave

Any ideas what it might be from??

The wheel and tyre are from a triang pedal car j40 I think

Dave

Hi Dave glad somebody found a use for them, sorry there were only 3 mate. regards Ian

I just need 5 more I think? I'm thinking of getting them made up on a 3D printer and then casting them out of pewter as a trial and then brass later?

thanks for listing them

Hi all, I'm still in the process of gathering parts to restore my 10cwt stores trailer and I need some more locker door catches, I recently acquired 3 on eBay but I need a few more.

does anyone have any stashed away or know a person / location where there may be some?

regards

Dave

I hope my wife doesn't watch or I could go home and find some empty sheds

ha ha

Oooo my new favourite programme! People going round other people's old sheds and finding exciting old stuff!!!:laugh:

Wasn't the bovy t34 tiger out of saving private Ryan :cool2:

Dave

That's a beauty, can't wait to see the restoration stages!

Your not short of people who can help with parts down your way!!

Dave

Hi Ian, I was also thinking it could be used for picking parachutes up off the battlefield????

Dave

Looks like a laundry trolley from a hospital, the tyres may have a data stamp on them??

Dave

Gpws up to late 43 have F marks and Gpw stamped in a few places which helps, mbs and all gpws after 43 have the body number stamped into the toe board gusset.

Dave

I thought this could be one but it might be a gs trailer? I found the pic on war relics forum

Hi Hans, try this

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191361486232?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Could have been based at usaaf honnington? But I suppose it's the needle in haystack situation as the whole of Norfolk was an airbase!!

Usaaf air transport command, usually the army uses the left bumperette for the division = atc, then the company letter and then the number of the vehicle in the column 4e, but not too sure about the usaaf??

Dave

£150 for 2!, that makes a few normandy farmers a little richer as there's loads of their fences made out of this stuff!!
