Well I had Scott "Jabbo" over here today, he got called out to work last night, so had a quick few hours sleep this morning and then came over by 13.00
Scott had wired up the Grizz-Pod Teardrop Trailer a few years ago for me, I had a regular light board which he then wired up to the Taxi cab lights I fitted to the rear.
When it cam to wiring the truck for Euro lighting, I contacted Scott to ask if he was up for a bit of abuse..... to which he thankfully agreed.
I had cut and broken some of the driveway this morning and mixed a batch of concrete to redo the bits I had removed, just wrapping up when he got here.
Soon we had the truck out, and this was the view.
I decided to mount the plug under the load body, behind the bumper for looks and also to keep it safely tucked out of harms way, so this as the result.
My mate Peter "Goose" with whom I traveled in Europe on our bikes last year and his wife came down for an evening BBQ and sleep over as they wanted to join us for bootfair in the morning.
We found via Vernier caliper that the US Spec 2" chromed towball is about 1/2mm bigger than the UK Spec 50mm towball.
So he suggested stripping back the chrome to get it to fit securely into the trailer hitch.
Some time spent in the woodwork shed, gently sanding the ball on my linisher left us with a perfect fitting union.
Of course we needed to get some photos.
Scott and his family had recently moved to a new house and behind the shed he found this......
Seems I have a spare wheel rim now. Just need to get a tyre onto it. Thanks Buddy.
Next up I will clean and refurbish the rim.
That's all for now folks.
Bootfair in the morning.
