Another Thread To Follow With Interest
Hi Gordon
I'm looking forward to following the progress of you work.
One comment on the insulation paper check to be sure it is not HIGHLY FLAMMABLE, some of the paper insulation used on trucks of this period burns easily though it may not burn with an open flame it will smolder and catch fire later.
I mention this because discovered by accident when working on my S56 Shelter box that the paper insulation would catch fire and burn. Fortunately I discovered it out side the box when a welding spark landed on a chunk of discarded insulation. I saw it happen stepped on it to put it out but after wards I watched for a little while and it started to burn again. After that I stripped it out of the box bagged it and disposed all of it.
Cheers Phil
