I think we'll find both widths on nearly all variants. The one that I wonder about is that rare, very early silver one with thin chassis and no rear brace (3 in my table). Perhaps the wide tow guide came first, as shown in Sebastian's example. I'm also surprised that the two widths of tow guide haven't yet been reported on the 58c DAF.Kwakers wrote:be careful on adding both wide and narrow notes on every code with a tow guide until we on the Forum find an example of each to verify their existence. A solution is to remove narrow from all codes except those we have discussed here on the Forum as positively existing as of now. As others are discovered and confirmed, the narrow guides can be (Re)added. (We cannot assume every "With guide" code exists with both wide and narrow).
Anyway, I've had another go at the table and I've put a question mark next to all the tow guides we haven't seen, and put in bold those that we have. I hope this works for you.
I also spotted that I had a duplicated line: my variant 8 was the same as 9 (I think that the thicker brace in Stannard and Houghton is the one we've called the bumper). So I've deleted that, and tidied up the mapping to Stannard, Houghton and Nick Jones, which had also gone a bit wrong. Variation 9 is now the new find with the unnumbered tipper and the different text. There's a footnote to explain this. I hope this all makes sense! I'm afraid you still need to scroll down to see everything, including the footnotes.
Can confirm that code 3 (thin chassis and no rear brace) in table can be found with narrow tow guide fitted with Tipper 1 and Chassis 1
Hunt now on for Tipper 2/Chassis 2 variation and any 1/2 combinations (if any of them exist!)
Happy Collecting
