Which light do you mean? The round or rectangular one?
There ist a Hella with metal base plate: 2SE 997 008-001
But its only for horizontal mount and the turning signal ist in the middle.
The one mounted on your trailer seems more like 2SE 002 578-701. I recall them with metal platte, but unfortunately they are not available any more.
The round one doesn't really look like Hella. Some similar but only with plastic body: series 964 169 and 344 169.

Das Eingangsposting ist missverständlich. Er hat schon irgend ne Hella gekauft (welche genau? eine oder zwei?)...ich frag mich was sein Problem ist. Will er 'ne andere? Kann ja mal vorkommen. 
Hi, Yehuda!
I‘m not the biggest „Essen“ expert, but here are my 2cents:
Zitat- What is the maximum speed for this configuration?
Usually, the maximum speed for trailers in Germany is 80 km/h. Because these trailers were sold mainly on the german market, I think that is the speed they are designed for. You can go faster, but with tires that size I would not exceed 100 km/h.
Zitat- Can I change to a faster device? And if so what what requ
ired?
No idea, sorry 
Zitat- Also he was equipped with springs [probably from a local production] What alternative do you recommend
What kind of springs are installed (pic, please)? Afaik, the Essen trailers had „Cellasto“ springs, that looked like rubber. They had a yellowish color, if I remember correctly.
Zitat- The wooden boards were in catastrophic condition
Anyone know the specification?
The boards were made of plywood. It had a light, yellowish brown tint. I think they were produced by Westfalia. If You could live with a darker tone, film faced plywood is the weapon of choice. It has a dark brown hue and is very sturdy.
Questions from Your other post:
ZitatThe original color is hardly preserved. [Light Gray] Anyone know the RAL?
I saw those trailers in various colors. A wide range of greys and white, even zinc coated frames without paint. But the majority were very light grey. I think RAL 7035 (lichtgrau) is a close match to the factory color.
ZitatI purchased a three-cell HELLA taillights
The rectangular HELLA taillights are a good choice for the year. Like the right one on Your picture.
ZitatAs it appears in most pictures with a plastic base
Is there metal and if so where?
Do You mean, You are searching for a metal base for the taillights? If so, I never had seen one. Only black plastic.
Good luck with the restoration of Your little trailer! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask 
Could a mod merge Yehuda’s posts and move them to the right subforum? That would probably be useful 
Kann ein Mod die Beiträge von Yehuda mal zusammenführen und ins richtige Unterforum schieben? Das wäre wahrscheinlich nützlich

done
yehudalevi - I merged your posts about your trailer into this thread here. So everything you should need / ask for that trailer you'll (hopefully) get the answers here.
Other than that I personally can't help unfortunately, because I only work on newer trailers...
But good luck with the restauration!
On second thought...
Color: Maybe the Color isn't RAL 7035. Here's an restored Essen, for sale by Kieft en Klock. I borrowed the pic from them:
Looks a little bit beige. Usually K en K are precise, when it comes to paint. Maybe it is RAL 1013 (Perlweiß) or RAL 1015 (Hellelfenbein).
You can also see the original tint of the Wood.
Springs: The cellasto springs have been a topic here numerous times before. They are easy to get, at least in Germany... Try Anhänger 24, they own this Forum . Search for: "Cellastofeder 400 kg".
Sorry, I can't provide a link, but I'm sitting in front of the company computer, stealing my boss's money with private forum activities ![:]](https://anhaengerforum.de/images/smilies/s_zufrieden.gif "*zufrieden*"){kind=small}

Edit by Mod: Take this 07010 | Westfalia Cellastofeder 400 kp
