Default Prototype #1 Pattern 13 Hand Brake and Starter Boot

Hi All

I just finished setting up an industrial sewing machine to do the canvas work on my HUP and needed a project, so below you see pictures of Prototype #1 Pattern 13 Hand Brake and Starter Boot. This was accomplished with a little photo interpretation of the photos Marc posted. (Hope this is OK Marc)

From the photos and having the dimensions of the mounting trim plate I worked out the measurements and did a cad drawing for template to cut the fabric. Excuse the ugly color fabric it is just scrap synthetic canvas, I found as with most fabrication projects it takes me two or three tries to produce an object that is acceptable to my eye. The first one is temporarily installed in my Pat 13 C60S so I can see how it works, really determine if it is worth the effort.

If it is I’ll try and figure out how to post the CAD drawing or the fabric templates full size for easy replication.

Cheers Phil
