In service I don't recall chains in the 80s mine look to be a AFM fitting.
Yep on the series I use those holes on the pintle or the lift points

No, chains wouldn't have been used on the S3s. It would have been a Perentie thing.
I think it was the ADRs that required chains on all trailers. The trailers would have been modified in service. My Crump & Cornish was.

Correct, safety chains was an in service MOD (late - pretty sure for Perenties as was perentie rims etc)) as was the U shaped bracket (early) on the bottom of the tow bar that it sites on, there is a list of MODs and what the number on the MOD Plate corresponds to on the web site somewhere

Why not just run a chain through the U shape "foot" it sits on when not on the stand. Or secure it with D shackles to be more permanent. No one said they had to be welded on. This way best of both worlds keep it original and have peace of mind if it gets loose.

Thanks for the advice men (I'll get to that) For now I've just removed the lunette, lots of water affected grease and a bit of rust (all-in-all) a bit of a mess)  How much end float is acceptable with the lunette?

Cheers, Daryl

PS- just read the VicRoads doc Scott, chains "may be welded to the drawbar providing the weld encompasses at least 50% of the link and the following link is free to move" . Your suggestion may be legal. The chain length needs to prevent the drawbar from touching the ground. Food for thought, for the trips it'll do that may suffice

Maybe use this method for attaching chains to vehicles.
