Hi Cliff,

Thanks for putting up the pics. I believe they are pics of all, or portions of, the sand skirts. I've not tried to check whether sandskirts came from the US on the tanks to Australia, or whether they were a local addition after they landed. I've not found any remnants of sandskirts in Aust myself, but sounds like Phill who also posted above may have.
I have a pair of rough original front guards for my project, and since I've never sighted the small rear fenders except for some hand sketches and poor photos I wondered what others knew of them. My guess now is that they only arrived on Lee's and I've never seen any physical or photographic evidence yet of Lees being over here in WA.

Regards

Alex
