CMP bofors tractor
 
I'm looking for line drawings or scale plans of the LAA tractor used to tow the 40mm bofors. I beleive it was on the 3-ton chassis.
Can anybody help?

LAAT
 
The late Dr. Bill Gregg's secomd book on CMPs has several nice images of this vehicle but not scaled drawings. I know of two other MV collectors who would like to obtain same as they both wish to fabricate new boxes for their restoration projects. Sorry that I can't help further. Robert in Toronto

LAAT Drawings
 
Hi Dave and Robert,
I am currently nearing completion of a 1942 C30 LAAT. Just down the road from me is a late Ford F60S LAAT which is on the road. If you (Dave) want detailed dimensions of the body, then you are most welcome to come and measure mine as much as you want, which in time may help Robert. At the moment I don'nt really have the time to measure up the body accuately, as all my time and effort is going into finishing the rebuild, however once completed ( I esimate this should be within the next 4-6 months), then I could do so. Depends how desperate you are for the details. Let me know your thoughts
Best Regards
Keith

Thanks for the offer Keith, but getting up to Oxford would be a bit tricky at the moment. I need the drawings, not for a restoration, but for a possible commission for a model.

I'll hang around and see if anyone has the info already drawn up.
Thanks again.
