Ifor Williams HB505 ~ how wide????

[birchave0]

just a quickie!!!!
I'm after a full width breast bar for my Sinclair trailer, as Sinclair no longer make trailers someone mentioned to me that an Ifor Williams one might fit.
Only thing is now Ifor Williams have changed their trailers I can't seem to find any info regarding the size of the old HB505!

Does anyone know?????
Or any other suggestions for a breast bar for my Sinclair, it's 5'6" wide (internal)
cheers

I've already looked, it just shows the new range

The easiest thing to do is ask your local metal fabricator to knock something up. A friend of ours made one when we had an HB510. He made it from 3in box metal, with slide out end (fit anything) and the same type of clip/peg things as the Ifor Williams ones. Local farmers will be able to give you the name of a suitable person.

I had thought about that but with box section being square it will have to well padded to avoid any rubbing, I also need it for next week!!!
There is one for sale on ebay but not sure to bid or not in case it won't fit!!!
Seller has not replied to my question

Give me 5 mins and Il measure it , box is outside the house .

Is it the internal width then ?

Box metal doesn't have sharp edges - we never covered ours, and it never caused rubs. Any agricultural welder should be able to knock you one up in 20 mins!
