Fenders
Hi Dave , thanks for looking at my posts and your nice comments . Coming from you it’s a treat and an honor . Lynn , thank you for a very clear explanation . I long wanted to know the reason for those beadlocks most commonly found on WW2 Jeeps . When i separated the wheels of that Canadian trailer , i was not expecting to find them . Thanks again . Here we see the fenders .. Pristine , did not have to repair anything . Just sandblasted , primed and painted . Amazing !

«* Question «* to the experts : The «*T*» sign that goes on the rear right corner of the Canadian trailer , what colour should the contour be ? Black or Green / Canadian Brown . The «* T «* proper is white , i get it . The jewels / reflectors red but why would the contour be Black like the British ones instead of Green / Canadian Brown ? anybody got WW2 era colour pictures ? The pictures / illustrations i have are all black & white so impossible to tell .

Nice find and nice job on the trailer. I believe that the T plates were satin black with a white T and red jewels.

Thanks Harry ( miss you btw) . Was it an original plate , never restored Harry ? Thank you Jordan . I accept that British trailers had a satin black contoured plate . But what about Canadian trailers , what evidence do we have .
Note : Colin McGregor - Stevens ( Hi Colin don’t be jealous miss you too ) wrote an excellent piece on these trailers , look it up on Goggle under 10 Cwt . These were «* the*» Jeep trailers for Canadians . They continued post -war right into Korea . Canada even reinforced the T-3 Bantam / Willys trailers to make them 10 Cwt instead of 5 Cwt they were so delicate and inadequate. So , for a correct Canadian Ww2 ETO Jeep you need a 10 Cwt trailer by Brantford & Body or a modified T-3 !
