Default Covers Waterproof No.20 Z.A.23960 1944

Note: Photo Bucket figures they should be paid for hosting my pictures, not bloody likely!

A while back there was a request for pictures and measurements.

Original post:
http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=21286

1. Steel plate is open at the bottom, made from 2mm steel that is welded at the corners, rivets are flush on the inside. The 2 holes match any CU. No.1 or 2 or JD. No.1, 2 or 3.(As well as others I'm sure)




2. Canvas measurements.
Plates that hold the canvas are light gauge steel 19mm wide with 5mm domed rivets (Solid black dots). There is a step in the top piece where the canvas is doubled up.
Dark lines represent double thickness' of canvas.
Hashed lines represent stitching. Finished edges are 7mm folded under 25mm with the stitching at about 22mm.
The chimney is about 58mm in diameter sewn to the oval hole on the right hand side. ( basically a 12 point plug has to be able to pass through it.)



Pictures of the No.20, front, interior, left side, back, right side, interior seams and chimney detail.

Noted for future reference!

Perhaps it's on the parts list - I will take a look.

Though I think unlikely these days I will get a carrier.

Cheers

Bren carriers, but also anywhere an individual C.U. or J.D. is exposed to the elements, halftracks, jeeps, trailers etc.
