by a few pennies here or there.
I've been after the following items:
Each time I've been sniped in the last few seconds. Bugger!
Would anyone have, lurking in the surpuls to current requirements pile, any of the above for sale?
Don't worry about (3), I've ordered a - gasp- *new* one.
£36 - that's a rip off. You should have been glad to miss that one!
"As new" condition but rusty as hell?
"never been fitted" so why is the rust a different colour (paler/fresher?) around the bolt holes?
I wouldn't touch it with yours. B-)
I thought it a good price, if the description is correct. They are £85 new.

bugger that - I made me own, copied the one on the other disco.

specially as it's only suitable for old trailers - it's *not* suitable for home-build new ones, if you want to comply with regulations. Since 1987 (ISTR) new trailers have to have damped couplings and auto-reverse brakes. That applies whether or not you make it yourself.
'course, you can always claim to have rebuilt an old one, but then again, if it's got all new parts...
the spring coupling is still legit for replacement on old trailers.
I'm converting an ex army trailer from spring over run Nato eye to
50mm ball. I can't find a date on the trailer , I suspect it is early 90s, but I know the model from my own service which finished in '87.On or around Wed, 16 Mar 2005 17:50:10 +0000, Colonel Tupperware enlightened us thusly:
If it's already spring coupling, then AFAIK it's OK to replace it with another spring coupling.
