By truck, you mean the Blitz ??   
Normal Blitz type leaf spring type arrangement with the old style non-rotating Pintle hook.

I don't use a No 5 on the Blitz but I have some mounting points to attach the chains to on
a one ton Brockhouse trailer that I'm still working on.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I mean the attachment of the chains to a  (Series III)  Land Rover. I presume there would loops/eyes welded onto the rear crossmember? Or were they attached with shackles through the helicopter lift points?

Cheers, Daryl

Ah right, With the Series Rover you will have to come up with somewhere to attach the chains.
I've got some shackle points welded onto the pintle mounting plate on my Series 2 FFW.

Cheers 😉 I was thinking of two loops welded to the bottom surface of the crossmember either side of 'centre', nicely tucked up out of the way. I'll look at he helicopter lift point option too

Probably the best option.

You could also possibly mount these on the rear crossmember like the Perentie.

Can anyone enlighten me with the size of the front jockey post.

The OD of the tube and size and thickness of the base plate so I can make one up??

Thanks

Gedday Mick, thanks for that. I checked my crossmember, but there's no room for placement to the left of the pintle due to the proximity of the NATO plug. There's been another post for a genuine UK MOD adaptor plate with loops in this thread, that's tempting  :D

Gedday Adam

Here's the dimensions you requested, they're in inches:-

Stand post - dia is 1-3/8"; length: 2' 6"

Base plate - 5" square; thickness: 1/8"

There is a tang welded to the bottom of the post, when raising the post to lock it this tang slides though a slot athe top of the fitting, you twist the post and the tang stops it from sliding back down when driving (most undesirable)

height from base plate:- 1-3/8"

tang dimensions:- 3/4" x 3/16"

There is also a Government arrow stamped into the baseplate, if you want to replicate it.

regards, Daryl

On my S2A FFT I attach the chains to the fitting that is part of the pintle hook attachment. I assumed this was standard?

Hi All,

From memory I can't remember chains being used with the number 5 's and Series 3 Rovers ?

Not that I drove them with a trailer that often I might add.

Cheers,

Mick
