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,

A difficult part to photograph. Only one of any use is attached, from 100's of photos I have.

Do you have the ratchet plate? I have a short section of chassis rail for sale from a scapped trailer, with plate still attached So perfect to copy and re-use the plate.

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 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

Just sent you a pm with dimensions. Here are some pictures of the rusted original section I kept to remind myself of the state it was in
