Guys,
Many thanks for the tips on cleaning the rust marks off the old canvas. Looks like , Slowly , slowly does it with very mild washing. A very good friend of mine, has been involved with supplying and fitting carpets ( and cleaning carpets for many years), I'll have a word with him, and let you know how I get on.
Thanks again
Keith

In between carefully cleaning the cushions , I'm now onto marking the 10 cwt GS trailer with it's census number (s).
Question is, was the census number applied to both sides near the front, OR only on the tailgate ?, as I have seen both census numbers on the side and not the tailgate, or, on the tailgate and not on the sides. HELP !!!
As always, thanks in advance.
Keith

My understanding when I did my trailer last year is that the number was on the tailgate and offside of the trailer. Not a result of any definitive research but from discussions with other trailer owners.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the quick reply, O.S front and rear looks correct, so that's what I will be applying to mine . I'll post some pictures when the census numbers have been stencilled on.
Thanks again
Keith

GS trailer finally finished, this week end, well pleased with the end result, I particularly like the T plate on the side.
A modern trailer board will be fitted when on the road, then removed at events
Enjoy
Keith
