Re the rotating Pintle Hook.
My understanding is that either the ring or the hook was supposed to be able to rotate, but not both, as this could lead to jamming when turning sharply. Thus a rotating Pintle Hook was able to be locked into a fixed position.
Tony, paint the trailer how you wish, one in a thousand may pick it as not right, but you will be happy, and thats what it's all about!
