10cwt trailer question

[RayT]

The hitch mounting area on my mortar trailer is looking a bit crushed as well as twisted.

Was there originally a spacer tube between the mounting holes?

Hi Ray

There should be spacers I think, a couple of pictures of my trailer you can see them

I see you have the hole in the front end for the lights cable

 

[RayT]

That's great thanks.

Lighting cable hole is present as you say, plus  clips on the frame and remains of the convoy light.

Link to my trailer restoration if you are interested Ray..

It's been stalled for a while, hope to get more done over the winter this year

Thats a really nice project.

I have been reading your thread OzH. I think I have even more welding than you to do 😢

Any idea what gauge the  steel is OzH, I'm guessing at 10

I really can't remember I'm afraid! I think it was 4 or 5 mm, I bought a sheet of it off ebay but can't find it in my past purchases even! Sorry about that..!
