Hi Tony.
Bigger and heavier than they look in a photo are'nt they. Maybe the square guard was just a design change at begining of production, tinnies roll off the round ones.
My trailer has the same pattern of round gaurd bolts, but is plated as a Corio Air Eng. I have never actually heard of the Humbers coming into Aust. with trailers, had assumed they were all manufactured over here. We only got 145 (Give or take one) Humbers, and Mike Cecil says early on in the thread that the trailer order was probably 500.
Also waiting with interest......
Rich.

Yes Rich - they are quite a good set up in my opinion... an important fighting modification were those guards.
Fancy spilling your tinnie whilst being shot at??? Not I for one

Incidentally, does yours have an ID plate at the front near the one I posted?

You havent by any chance got a photo of that plate Richard?

The one on the tailer I photographed has had its info buried under incalculable layers of paint.
