Will see what I can do tomorrow. I imagine the gauge is going to be the same as the cab sheet metal, ie 16 gauge. The hold down is thicker.

Fabricators....I know plenty down my way, (the)Hardest thing they will have trouble with is getting the Steel rivets (qty 6) for the bracket. PM Me for a contact if you want....

The spade like end needs to be forged. (made red hot and hammered to that shape from a piece of rod.) The thread would have been mechanically cut, You could cheat & use threaded rod, and cut it to length.

Fair few Sheet metal fabricators around here .Looks fairly basic design
Hold down studs and clamp look to be the hardest to replicate

... Keith, you've got a wonderful looking Blitz in the background

Excellent findings! Is the camo door the one we got from Neil?

Have a good weekend

Hi Chris

I put the parts on it to see whether you'd notice! Yes that's the door from Neil, and I also brought back the roof and will take the hoodbow out this weekend.
I'll put the door in the back of your truck if you want it... let me know.
Can you also see your new steering box with the little round plate on the end to protect the cable from the horn?

Keith I see you didn't say where the battery box cover came from, just as well, we don't want to see grown men cry

I spoke to H about it - he was smart... very smart and there were only three there - he kept one for himself... AND didn't tell his mates!!!
