Default WW2 20cwt 180 Gallon Bowsers
Hi Ian,

Just saw this Forum. I have a 180 gallon Bowser just like yours. Trailer is Acedes and water equipment is by Thompson Bros. I cannot manage to post the photos. So if you send me your Email address I will send you photos.
regards

Clive

Easy job this morning removing the brake drums/hubs but not so easy removing the brake cams & back plates.
Lots of heat / sledgehammer & about 3 hours work finally got the job done.
