Big ask! Would it be possible for someone to take a photo ( obviously cover up there details)or try and describe the type of vin plate that would be correct for a winget 3s 1973 , I have v5 in my name, but I would really like to fit as close as possible what it would of had originally, please thanks...

Thanks, got them sorted now! Winget had the parts! All reamer out and fitted. Yes they are a pain to reamer out and keep them parallel to each other! Thanks for the helpful replys

Thanks I've been looking all over the place

Hi essexpete, it's the rim about 1/3 is rotted out. I'm thinking about cutting out the rot and replacing it. But obviously a replacement wheel would be loads easier! But I suppose these challenges make us who we are, but stronger!

I don't suppose anyone has a rear wheel 16 x 4 ( 3 bolt pattern) that will fit a winget dumper? I have been In contact with winget, they can get one made! but it's very expensive. I'm in the Nottinghamshire area but happy to travel Ian

Thanks Norm! That makes me feel a bit better

i must be doing the slowest rebuild ever on a dumper,(winget 3S) any advise on kingpins ?? where can i buy some. has anyone actually changed/ replaced them?
or do we just have wobbly wheels any advice would be much appreciated

Hi phil , i found carmine red on a website somewhere , which was supposed to be the winget red, as i couldn't find any reference to javelin red.
RAL number 3002. i bought it from Smith and Allen in Darlington they have a good website and postal service, if thats any use for you.

thanks for the links guys! I've been spending hours on the internet.
there doesn't seem much real life info on the sl2 engines. i think need to find a lister guru. any ideas

Hi pulled the engine out of my new project today winget s3 dumper, which I thought had the lister lr2 engine in, but it now looks like its the lister sl2 engine in it. can some one please explain the difference's between these two engines?? Im completely new to lister engines, has some one out there...
