Ford F8 - Drawing

Would anybody be in the position to provide me with a better drawing of the Ford F8?

Many thanks in advance.

I guess that it is rather difficult to find such drawing. Have started to do my own. Would anybody of you be so kind and give me advice, if the proportions fit mre or less? I took above "drawing" as a template an used some photos I found...

Hi Kuno, The obvious one is that it should have only 6 wheel nuts, not 8.
I will leave the rest to those that know.

The perspective on the box is throwing you off. The box is centered on the rear wheels. That centre vertical member on the narrow part of the box is on centre. The vertical piece between the windows is centered on the box too.

Thanks Lynn. 6 instead of 8 wheelnuts -that's really obvious. Guess that it was just too late last night...

Thanks, Clectrac.

My problem is that the photos I have (and as well above drawing) have somewhat a "fisheye" perspective.

Would you say that I should extend the loading bay towards the drivers compartment to the cost of the boxes between them? Means to make these various boxes narrower then?

Thankyou for creating the opportunity for me to contribute.

Do you find bren carrier wrecks in the desert? If so,do you have photos?
Are these images any help?
