Hi, my first time on a forum such as this. I have just bought a Twaites Goliath dumper, I need a information, such as;
Is there a dumper or lorry etc. out there that uses the same master cylinders?
likewise re the steering ram, I could do with a good second hand ram.
Does any one have a workshop manual for one of these or at least for the Salisbury axles?
cheers
Nick

Re: Twaites Goliath
That is a rarity! Does that have all wheel steering? I digress you could do worse than phoning Thwaites direct and asking for some technical help. They seem a very helpful bunch and they might have some archived info. The Ford engine is getting harder to source parts for (apparently)

Re: Twaites Goliath
Yes it does have all wheel steering, and appears to have come from the factory as a "cabless" model. Engine is good, I've yet to sort out the gear levers which are sloppy. No noise from the axles, just horrible tin work!

Re: Twaites Goliath
My mate had one once and I used it a lot. Fantastic in their time and it had a cab! Good luck with it.
