yesterday
 

Managed a couple of hours yesterday after work and have finished replacing the last of the worn spring bushes and pins, radiator is away being sorted so its getting closer to running he engine :yappy:

Jeremy,

How did your windscreen castings go. They look similar to ones fitted to a WOT 2D I have. And I need a couple

hinges
 

Hi

One of my MCC 15 cwt CS8 wrecks here has a couple of the aero screen hinges in situ on the cowl - I'd like to know how the actual screen frame is made . I do have some drawings somewhere from R Ballard but they didn't seem right to me

Mike .

drawings
 

Are you teasing me :giveup Can you do some drawings of those Morris screens :teach: Mike

Mike are the Morris ones similar to WOT ? I do have one original screen largely complete

Hinge
 

I think the Morris screen may be different :bang:

screens
 

OK John

if you can find those screens one day :note: I will post you a bottle of Aussie wine :salute: Mike

John,

I'll dig them out and post a photo.

hi Are you sure the Morris screens are bigger ? In this pic, the screens appear to be small to me . Mike

Ok back to the real world of my Bedford resto if you two want to discuss aeroscreen fittings do it somewhere else please :teach: here are a couple of pics of the new brackets I made the patterns for and John very kindly did all the fettling and machining I can see now how much hard work went into them especially the dreaded wing nuts, thanks again John they look the dogs doh dah's :D can't wait till I fit them to the bulkhead :yappy:

This is the complete windscreen frame removed from a Fordson WOT 2H I recovered but obviously refitted from a WOT 2D at some stage. Or a Bedford!!

The brass hinge piece measures 92mm x45mm

steel ?
 

Is the glass frame made from steel ? Hard to tell in that pic but it appears to be so Mike

Yes Mike. Steel frame. This one should clean up ok. Any spare ones about?

frames
 

None that I know of :whinge Maybe we could look into making a few frames ,Is that possible? That frame you have is the only example I've ever seen in Australia - its as rare as the proverbial stuff Mike

I've removed my posted at the request of jeremy which is quite fair enough. Maybe start a new thread regarding the aeroscreens.

Great to see you on here Jeremy

new thread
 

Yes by all means open a new thread on aero screens as I will need a pair in the near future as my resto progresses, and detailed photo's are always usefull chaps.Hello Wayno good to see you on here too itsa small world :yappy:

radiator time
 

Yes its time to loosely fit the restored radiator today :yappy: bit more fettling before the chassis has a last coat of paint

Happy memories.
 

This brings back happy memories of putting my bedford back together..
