Reason for asking is that I used to work with a guy with surname of Skidmore for many years.

Could be I was just making an assumption in the moment while talking about 1 lockable or two lockable wheels.

Who knows could well be and then there is some history.

Both of mine and all the ones I've seen have brakes on both the swivelling front wheels.

Hi Fig, know you can not see photo's on the salt-mine computer, so just for info, it looks as if he has an early 3 wheeler.

Haha. Only photo hosting sites are blocked. I actually can see the pic. I've never seen a 3-wheeler and that's definitely not an early one. It has post-1965 Hazet logo and looks like a 1980s or 1990s version with black top tray and both knobs in black, instead of one being blue. The very early ones (mid-1950s) had only 2 trays, not 3.

@beetlepower, is it stamped Made in Germany or Made in W Germany on the side?

Where on the side, I cant find any stampings?

Open to reasonable offers on this one if someone is looking for a project. Poles are not original but they do hold the trays up

Are you sure the poles aren't original? That looks like the early collapsible style with the tubes on the sides to hold the uprights. I think that one is 1960s, post-1965. The hole in the end is for one of the legs of the little 3-legged stool that came with that era Hazet Assistents.

Yeah, I got the poles form a steel place as they were missing when I picked this one up

Looking for that one strip that is missing on mine if anybody has one available. I see there is one with a different colour on the second tray but do not mind a plain one just want to try and make it complete.

I see they are available from Hazet directly but if I get those I will have to buy all of them to make them all look like new.

Unless someone knows of a good replacement but doubt if the normal rubber places will have that profile.

Maybe somebody has a spare that I can buy from them?

I'm missing a black rubber insert on one of my Assistents. If you order a set I'll take one of your new or old inserts off you.

Ouch 15 eur excl shipping and taxes and according to what I have researched that is enough to do one tray !

It really starts to add up quite considerably.

But yes if I go down that road which at this point I am doubting I will definitely keep you in mind and who knows maybe charge you 15eur incl shipping

Nah just kidding will definitely keep you posted.

Went to a rubber place and to get a minimum of 50m made with the tooling etc will cost almost 8 k on a quick calculation done by the sales person.

Anybody have experience or diy with possible making the rubbers or a friend that will be able to help.

Else the alternative will be to import the rubbers.

Last weeks find

Nice one. Damn do not see those often. Now to get it complete.

Yup, I do have a sprakplug spanner. So now only 9 items to go
