Humber Recovery Trailer finished.
At last, after much designing and building we have a Recovery trailer to carry an Austin Champ and completed a successful test run in and around Seymour. A long time coming, however, to meet Victorian registration requirements it takes a lot of engineering to tow anything with a gross weight over 2 tonnes.
Tows well and handles very well, the Humber pulled it well, handles the flat well and holds its speed to most inclines. Small troubles with the B60 rotor button kicking in occasionally (Governed). A learning experience to drive with weight towed behind but all good and very happy.
Cheers,
Dave.
