A while ago someone on this
forum was kind enough to send me some pics of their
home made stone guard. Unfortunately I have lost their contact details. Below are a couple of the pics they sent me in the hope that someone or the owner may recognise them.
I am wanting to make one for my CT, however I would like to see a photo that specifically shows how the stone guard attaches to the tow bar and trailer. From memory the stone guard can be detached fairly quickly from the vehicle and trailer when mud is encountered.
TIA
Brett

Not
mine either, but I made one from 40mm pvc pipe & shade
cloth attached with fishing line. Cost nothing & worked a treat,
no marks on vehicle or trailer. Sorry no pics , but basically a rectangle with front corners angled to allow turning. 2 1/4 bolts
attach to A frame at rear. Rests on Treg at Front. Sits on top of A frame with suitable holes for treg pin, spare wheel carrier & Jock
wheel. No attachment to vehicle required & takes 5 min to remove......oldbaz.

Hi Brett
The stone gaurd was
mine that I made for our jayco eagle camper.
It attaches to the camper via a 25mm steel tube at the back of the draw bar that is clamped to the A frame and then the mesh simply attaches with two small D shackles, at the tow bar end the mesh has spring loaded clips that connect to the bar with the
grey canvas.
There was not enough call for them so we haven't produced a batch.
Cheers
Christian.

Thanks Christian,
Would it be possible to obtain a couple of photos showing this? My email is breddy@captureplan.com.au.
I like the look of this stone guard and would like to try an make one. It sounds as though you were going to produce a number of them, but unfortunately things didn't eventuate.
How much would you charge to make one more?
Thanks
Brett
