Thanks a lot!
Unfortunatelly the only color code that would work in our case(internationally)is RAL code.
Next time I go there I'll see if they have that code.
Thanks a lot!

You are such a tease.Here are a few photos of the final assembly of the frame.
How am I a tease? I post photos as soon as I finish the work, I'm not holding back .You are such a tease.
I feel like the lady in the end of the Mervyn's commercial - "Open, Open, Open."
Jeff, I think you have a winner. A very nice DIY project for someone to handle who doesn't have the fabrication skills that are more or less required to resurrect an original.
I had to look up images of original M416s just to compare. Again, well done. It is interesting to note the difference in appearance between the "turned out" trailer top edge and the "turned in" top edge on your design. You explained why the turned in edge and I agree with the rationale. I also suppose it would be easy enough to add a turned out rim around the top for those so inclined.
Your frame picture comparision above is also very informative - I think it should ease many questions about using the HF frame.
It would be intersting to see the trailer with a 3,500 lb axle, wheel and tire combo that seems to be commonly swapped onto M416s.
That is so incredibly beautiful. Well done!Got the M72 prototype trailer assembly completed today...
