In Search of this Engineers bridging trailer

[Richard Farrant]

The trailer that the parts are for is refered to as a MGB trailer (Medium Girder Bridge). The axles were supplied by Meritor and looking at a parts list the brake components were Girling. Trying to cross reference the Girling numbers to commercial parts has not been fruitful. The previous military owners of the trailers in question removed the brake shoes before disposal due to asbestos linings, but in the process a number of other components and springs were lost. So to find a trailer and remove all the required parts is an easier option than chasing for a large number of individual components.
I passed the enquiry to Robin as he said he knew of some in Canada, having tried in the UK (obvious place to first try) I drew blanks. The person requiring these parts is actually in Australia.

Thanks Richard for that eloquent explanation of our 3 continent connection and search.

My major lead I will be looking in on this week if timings work out for that road trip.

Standby for more from me, eventually.
