Thank you John, and thanks for your assistance with photos of yours. Certainly pleased overall, though of course in your own builds you always know where all the faults lie!

alf aphid Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 Evening all. Anyone know if weeks did a blue version of this trailer as a monocoque? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Never ever seen a weeks mono body in real life , but there was a brochure on ebay recently and in that they were all green ?? and a later type? i have checked my brochure and the mono bodies dont appear in that, there was a discussion on faceslap recently about them,and the only ones anyone had seen were called easy riders or Labradors i think, twin axel ones .

Thanks Sean. Yes these are, or were, not sure if they still exist, Richard Western trailers, I think they were built in Poland or similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old boss had a 12t one, basically the same as a Richard Western very similar in design and build.
