Just a note for people who like to split hairs......the ADE adaptors were designed to work with the axle fitted by the ADE on a trailer approved by the ADE and therefore are considered manufacture designed and provided and therefore legal to use under Australian vehicle rules.
It should also be noted the Wiles cooker was designed to use the axle now fitted and the Australian Chev/Ford Jeep trailer axles were designed to interchange by the manufactures so can be considered an original part and legal.
The last picture is the Chev wheels and axle.
I intend to fit Landrover No5 trailer wheels when I find a pair as I have other plans for the champ wheels.
Another point of communality is the Austin Champ split rims, one half can interchange to a WW2 Jeep split wheel and the split wheel bolts and nuts are the same.
Yes the Champ and early Landrover split wheels are the same and interchange with the early series Landrover deep well non split wheels.
Two soup bins to made in stainless steel and the thing will be 100% useable from a cooking point of view and where I want it to be...............it may take me another year or Two to find the time and inclination to make them.
