Is it based on a wide or narrow track Sankey? looks good, what else needs doing?

I going with raptor coat on mine-have you used it before? How have you got on with it?

 

[blackntan]

Yes , applied to my pickup and VW camper Bonnet and wheel arches , coated my pick 100%. Very durable and easy to use just be careful on colour mix as diluted when mixed. Otherwise recommend either spray or roller applied

 

[tyndall]

I’m going to pick your brains again if you don’t mind?! How many tins did it take to coat the pickup and have you used their epoxy primer?

 

[blackntan]

I never used epoxy primer just prepped using sander. To form a good key cleaned with white spirits and applied a mist coat and two full coats. I wanted a heavy finish , I went for a landrover colour aintree green the colour of my 110 defender. But the raptor diluted it to a lighter shade I didn’t like it at first but it grew on me , wheel arches I done black. . Now here’s the thing ! My friend reversed his truck into my wheel arch. The arch dented the raptor never cracked or split I pushed the dent back out the raptor just popped with it as I said it’s a durability is. Amazing. Am in construction. So it gets abuse

Thanks for the info- I will use it on my build -looking forward to trying it out

Well chaps ran in to a bit of trouble running the trailer back to base , brakes locked but only while reversing ,
straight on phone to ex military grease monkey. who gave instructions and after own loading a very informative
doc of the expedition portal i resolved the issues well freed it up. But for me with no mech experience
it was a very satisfying experience here a few photos of the interior. All thanks to my nephew

Update my ex. Military grease monkey just called and smiling said you aint been trying to reverse that have you ,
weres your blocker , what blocker seems there a pice should be slotted in to stop the reversing brake working. ,
another lesson learned

 

[tyndall]

Do you have to do that every time you reverse with a sankey?

Just found minesa mark twond has a nob you twist but yes thats the way they were made

 

[tyndall]

Probably to make it harder to retreat?

Paras DONT LOL

 

[tyndall]

your trailer is on drum brakes,I think some sankeys have a disc setup don’t they? I wonder what make of brake parts they used? How do you get on with the NATO hitch?

 

[blackntan]

No problem used to towing all kinds of trailers At least you know it’s there lol

 

[blackntan]

If your alluding to noise am towing it with the. DEFENDER
