Hi Hans,

 

Looks very good. Some nice original parts e.g the small plates on inside chassis that keep the floorboards in place when running empty.

Also the T-plate looks in good restorable condition.

 

Are you going to remove the mudguards and but 5.00 x 16 tyres on it?

John, Thanks for explaining the small plates. I've 3 AB trailers and all have these and both I and others have speculated over their use. But exactly how were they used ? If one has the wood pallet floor fitted, I do not see how they work - apart from using rope or cord to bind over the pallets.Thanks,DavidH Oslo.

David,

The small plates are fixed to the body rails.

A small round headed machine screw, then the plate, then through the rail, then a special spring washer and then lock nut.

The special spring washer puts tension onto the plate, but means you can easily pull it aside to release the wooden floor sections.

The large hole in the plate is so you can get your finger into it to lift and pull.

Not something I've photographed in detail, but here are a couple of pictures from one of my trailer restorations that hopefully gives you an idea of what I'm on about!

These are the kind of special spring washer I used to secure the floor board plates:

Hans, If you Google "double spring washer" you'll find a lot of hits.

 

Probably on Ebay but I've just found this supplier (well known UK supplier of Classic car parts):
