Hey Russ (and listers):
I haven't built a MGB trailer yet, so don't have any photos of the
trailer or the hitch, sorry! I have been to David Darby's site and
viewed photos there of a cute B trailer made from two B rear sections.
I don't have that many Bs available and prefer a stock-looking trailer
from the "B" post back.
If *anybody* has photos of a trailer as I am seeking to build, would you
please e-mail them to the list? TIA!!
Cheers,
Jim Boyd
