The vageries of 70's "precision" engineering!

I understand that the clubbie is a "couple inches" longer in the nose. If your measuring up for a box trailer, then add 100mm at each end, side & top for clearance and you should be right. [you need some space for transit movement]

Just a thought: If you intend drive on/off, leave enought clearance for the driver to extracate.

Cheers Dat
