For your information Pete :unamused: the front hitch on JEO 192 was virtually brand new and hardly used throughout the years it pulled the trailer,it still had the factory paint on it !!A star man like Eric never needed to use the front hitch,only one place I recall we had to use it was at Metal Box at Breeze lane in Liverpool otherwise he reversed the trailer everywhere no danger. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :wink: Cheers Dennis.
