Re: Scratch-Built Flatbed
I found a set of landing gear in our box of leftover Knight Hauler parts. Our dry box trailer has electric landing gear so this was the original gear from the Tamiya dry van. The chassis rails of the Bruder are about an inch wider than the Tamiya trailer rails so I had to modify the landing gear release to work properly. The coupling guide needed a spacer to correctly contact the coupler. And the angle of the release arms needed to be greater so I added an arm to properly contact the release levers. I also had to fabricate a new push rod since the gear was a little further away from the coupling plate. I have added detail shots of the mods. Works like a charm.
