Following on from the my new horse closed the motorway post..ifor williams trailers

[catherine22]

do just normal allen keys fit the breast bar release holes or is it a specific allen key. I can't think what size mine are but thats the first thing i'm putting in the car tonight/ stopping to buy one from the local dealership!!

It's a normal allen key, but quite large. I got 2 sturdy ones with my cross trainer which fitted the horsebox. They now reside in the towing car.

Normal, can't remember what size though. Also note that in order for the bars to drop away properly when released from the outside, the bars should be hinged on the partition and fastened on the wall. If they're hinged on the wall and fastened on the partition, they won't drop away cleanly. (Try it and you'll see what I mean.)

Although if you have one of the older trailers with the ali framed partition (pre 1999 I think), the bars won't fit that way round.
