Off an Acco?

[Richard Coutts-Smith]

Richard "Hawk Eyes" Green
Finally found what you meant, lying flat in the back of the Bandiana landi. I see what you mean, very similar, but.... eye on the landy appears to be cut out of flat 1 1/2 plate, and legs look shorter, mine has cast eye and legs are 1430mm from eye center to pin at bottom of leg, in closed position. Thanks for your input, got a question about workshop landies for you, I'll post in a couple of days when I have more time.
Sam, Uncle had an Acco when he lived on Fraser Island, they allowed 1mpg for it! It drove nicer on the sand than the 'cruiser we were in though.

Your eyes are keener than mine, didn't spot the cast unit. But you know where there is a similar one to compare it to at least.

Fire away any time you have any landy questions, or visit www.remlr.com which I maintain.

enjoyed the shots of the MK5 coming down the bank (on REMLR). Looked like fun.

I have this Inter A-Frame drawbar, which although basically the same as Richard's, does not have the 3-ribbed fitting at the end.
The Army Inter ACCO D-Rings are the same dimensions as a Chev Blitz D-Ring, the Ford D's being a thicker casting in the D section. My Inter A-Frame has D shaped inserts which go inside the Inter (or Chev) D-Ring to allow the cross-pin to make a slack-free connection:

thanks Richard, PM your details and I'll send something your way...

Tony,
you've thrown me now. Not a lot of similarities between the two "A" frames.Mine is adjustable in length for a start, and the pin bases are different. Looks like yours is the real deal, I have no number on mine, possibly there were different ones made? Might bring it along to Corawa, if I write jeep on it I'll get corrected pretty quick smart! Love the adapter for the "D"s, is that original?
I think I had ideas of putting it on the front of my Blitz when I bought it (bit of a blur as I mentioned) but since then ,I found the front fairleads at a swapmeet, so now have only one "D" on the front. Definatley have to get another truck now.

Mmm, the land rover one is adjustable in length, maybe it's the fittings at the end that aren't original. you could always compare it to the one at bandiana (on the wrecker). If you bring it to corowa i'd like a sticky beak as well.

I'll see you there, but not until the Friday. Can't miss me, I'll be smoking a pipe and driving a pink Champ!
