Default frame

Your pic shows the Aust. steel made frame type. I loaned my example to the Ballards , the Morris guys over in your neck of the woods - they produced a spot on replica for their FFW Morris truck . There was a guy here in Adelaide making replicas and Ron Pier got one of these - they are OK but not 100% the same as the originals .

The British version is Aluminium and I've seen one of these here , it has plain end panels.

I had a lid as well , this went to the Ballards. I thought I would find another lid, but I've never seen another one

Hi Mike, I'm looking for either type, I made an aluminium pictured below from drawings a couple of years back but need another for my Aussi set.

Default 11 set frame

Looks like you have used Aluminium extrusions with the sharp corners , rather than folding the "U" sections out of flat sheet. It looks pretty good though.

The original frames are very hard to find here, so your chances of finding an original would be very slim. Why not just make another one ?

Mike, the original example I copied had extruded aluminium and wasn't made from bent flat sheet, I've attached a pic of original frame from Canada.

Yes could make another, and might have too lol.
