What have you done today with your Austin Seven
Hi All

I’ve had a first short test drive towing a trailer.

https://youtu.be/dkSUcmhG3Zc

The trailer is an old Erde 100 which I’ve refurbished and swapped the sides for the top box.
 
The tow bar is an A frame which goes back to the chassis extensions, but is also fixed to a sub frame on the body.

The real headache was getting a 6 volt indicator warning buzzer. In the end I’ve used a reed switch with the indicator wires wrapped round it a dozen times.  At first I couldn’t understand why it wouldn't work but then realised that LEDs don’t pull enough current so I’ll have to use incandescent bulbs.

All good fun  Big Grin.

Cheers

Howard
