Eriba parts

The works to be done on the Eriba puck caravan are a lot, but for the moment we can begin from some minor things.
One reflective triangle was missing while the other was broken. These are compulsory for any type of trailer or caravan to be towed in Europe.


I bought a new pair from eBay Germany. They are not by Hella but they are very similar and good quality, and also E-marked (= fully legal).


The four outer handles, useful to move the Eriba by hand when unhooked, were oxidated and the black film was coming away in pieces. The screws were also very rusted and blocked. So I removed completely the screws, the film, then brushed the handles, ready for a new glossy black paint.

Pop outs sanding and re-threading...

Waiting for the seals to arrive, I removed all the paint and rust from my pop out frames.
I also redid the thread to get rid of the rusty VW mini-screws and use new stainless steel screws.
