For your information the calipers on my trailer are FORD / Lucas identical to those fitted to a '85 - '90 Ford Granada 1.8. I have been able to get new pads and caliper seal kits now I have found that information out - and my brakes work!! Using your site I have converted the lights to 12volt and now she looks sweet and is fully functional. Regards Kev Guys

Probably the best move for me is to get second hand unit. So will use your intro and ring Pete tomorrow. (He might also be able to help with my search for field kitchen prep tables.) 4X4 forum looks good, have registered on it, but still waiting for clearance to post message. I’ll keep reading your website - The only place where I have found clear info on how to convert Sankey trailer lights to a civilian set up! So thanks again, and will let you know how project progresses. All the best, Ricky. Hi Hedley,

On my trailer it is possible to pull the damper in and out by hand. So you have pin pointed the problem! Obvious, now that you have explained it, that a lot of pressure should be required to move the damper so that it can function as such. Will go through manual to see if I can figure out how it works and if new parts are needed. Could I ask you for some further advise? i.e. do you have any idea how tricky it is to strip down damper? Are parts are easily available? – Might it be better to replace with second hand unit? Many thanks for all your help, Ricky. Hi,
