LRDG Chevrolet 1533X2 Aero-screens

[Charlie Down]

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the drawing, I should be able to scale the length of the brackets now I know they were 1" wide. The same with the glass height. I presume the glass channel is about 3/8", 9.5mm wide.
My drawing was 2", 50mm out on the width and 1/4", 6.5mm out in height for the frame, I thought it was a bit small.
I'll redo my drawing later and post here with bracket details.
Nice to find out the origins and details of the aero-screen for the 1533X2. I believe they were originally fitted (nicked) to the Chevrolet WA trucks, and re-used for the Chevrolet 1533X2 which would explain why the canvas covers often look really ragged. That would also explain why only about a third of the 1533X2's had aero-screens, sometimes only for the driver. Also in your article you posted a link to it says that in late 1940 Morris CS4 production stopped fitting aero-screens and instead fitted a full windscreen and side doors. Could this also be another factor in fitting them to the Chevrolet WA's and later the 1533X2's? It was a bit later than the first operational use of the WA's though, but could mean spares were readily available maybe....

Next is the original windscreen!
