0 sabre Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Hoi Dave, I don't see ny braking system on the modification, but this won't be a problem behind the bedford. This is a picture from Beltring a took 2_3 years ago of a sankey behind a Bedford with comms body, so it can be done. I haven't got a picture of the "towing system":mad: Maybe someone on the forum recognises the combination and can give more info if and how it has been modified.....

0 gritineye Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 HI Dave, would it not be easier to extend the Bedford tow hitch mounting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 David Ives Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 looking at all options at the moment to move the hitch i would have to put a new rear cross member at the back and redo all the rivits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 gritineye Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Is the truck hitch the right height for the trailer to sit level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 gritineye Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 To avoid modifying the trailer or Bedford how about something like this, curtesy Gritineye designs..a LR size nato coupling could then be used Others have used the same idea before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 David Ives Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 bernard if you are free tuesday afternoon i could show you the problem and matbee you could design something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 gritineye Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Can't do Tuesday I'm afraid, should be OK almost any other time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
