Bob,

You wrote "My close second choice but intimidated by all the wooden "cabinetry" required."

From what I can see these Indian Pattern 15-cwt bodies had the same dimensions as the No1 Australian body, and were very similar in construction. See the link to the thread for drawings made by a professional draftsman, kindly supplied by Robert Sexton.
