Can any of you truck modellers help me please?
I need to know the correct term for the 'C' plate on a tractor unit that the trailer is clipped on to and pivots around. I've heard it described as the 5th wheel, but I doubt that's its technical term.
Thanks

Yep that is it's name, it is a turntable but always described as the fith wheel and if you call it anything else no one will know what you are talking about. regards Ted Can any of you truck modellers help me please?
