Default wrecker

HELLO RON
Can you tell me if the main upright frame rests on the chassis or clear of it in the middle its difficult to tell from your pictures we are fitting the holms wrecker to our chev but are not sure if they are the same fitting to the chassis as the Garwood i can see the large brackets each side but would like to know if the whole thing is resting on the chassis as well many thanks for all those photos we could do with some like that for the HOLMS .
REGARDS VIC EATON UK.

Hi Vic and Martin,

I took some pictures of a Holmes equipped example in Arnhem last year. Hopefully you will find the answers in the following pics.

Default Holmes drawings

Hi Victor

As Alexes pictures show, the Holmes unit was bolted to the chassis with flanches and U bolts.
I have updated the Diamond T part just now because I thought I just point jou to it, but when I checked it was not there yet.
So, now it is and when you scrol down there are some HOLMES drawings that may explain it all - I hope-

Go to http://www.wheelsofvictory.com/canadian%20index6.html
go to Diamond T and scroll down.

Hope it helps.
Regards
Ron Perry
