  13. i have water coming in it appears to be coming between the point where the roof is fixed to the sides at the same level as the gutter if i dried it all probably silicone would seal it it appears to get in where the original sealer has become wet cracked it is probably wicking water through the seal any suggestions other than silicone or a good coat of chlorinated rubber 2 pack paint which is high build so i could put plrnty on any suggestions cheers chris

  17. cheers for that if i cut the ring off what are the chances of a 50mm ball coupling bolting to the remaining rod that sticks out or would this make it too short for the brakes to work i presume thay work on the rod ive got an adjustable height db coupling so height shouldnt be a problem the other option is to fix a nato hitch to a adjustable coupling then i would have both removable by two pins do you think the latter sounds best cheers chris
