Chassis Winch Handbrake_2
One part that was fairly difficult to replicate was the main brake band.
Again I was fortunate and able to borrow one for comparison, and found it to be almost identical to the main handbrake band used on Post-war M37 Dodge "Powerwagon".
Photo shows an original Chev Winch brake band and the Dodge M37 band.
One was duly sourced from the USA (carriage and UK import duty effectively doubling it cost!)
