most of them were in the states however there were a couple over here but i think theyve run out now... i was looking at some of the mini-artic trailers and rigs for sale too... quite a few considering how scarce they are

Nice build, like to see more like that. Does make them stand out when you have many lights. Wel done for the effort. Loved the Bond 3 wheelers, not seen them for many years. Look like the early ones with the single cylinder Villers 250cc engine. did any of the have the villers 2T engine, was my favourite bike engine, before Hondas and Suzuki's. In the dyas when Bonds were on the roads, there were no Hondas or other Jap bikes in the Uk, nor Jap engines. So for me a little time warp to see your load.

Best wishes,
ATB

King pins can be bought anywhere you ge truck parts from. do not need US parts, Jost is a favourite, depends on if you want a weld on or a bolt on. Lots of diffetrent couplings, but catch should be checked on second hand units as they do break. Still know where to get most of the parts for a proper trailer on air brakes as well.
Best wishes,
from ATB,

live life to the max, max till the end and enjoy every second in between. You dont know what your missing till it is too late, so don't waste a second on dreaming. Do it now, while you have the chance.

nice one buddy! its part of my dads collection (im more into commercials, tractors and landys though i have a hillman imp)
the Iveco was done by someone up scotland but we need to redo all the air brake system and make it work correctly.

the bond load, on the neck is a Mk F, then a Mk C/D and on the back is a Mk E prototype which goes like the clappers.

A mate of mine used to own a Berkley T60 in the late '70's early '80's that was fitted with a Villiers,not sure if that was the original engine tho? Still,it was rather cool tho .
