I concur looks more like a hand brake boot
Hi Robert
I concur looks more like a hand brake boot, for two reasons the rectangular shape of the floor end and I would say that it is hand brake because of the larger top opening and snap, if it was for the starter it would only need a small opening at the top as you would unscrew the knob to put the boot on. But as I look closer at the pictures it does have two separate boot sections, one for the brake lever and one for the starter. How about a part number from HUP Parts Book 1945 Group No. 4.612 part number 5825793 Description BOOT ASSY., Hand Brake & Starter Lever Interesting piece of original equipment and the boots do make a difference on how much air hot or cold comes into the cab. I made similar boots to try and cut down hot air from engine coming into the cab on my Pat 12. Neat new bit of information. Cheers Phil

in retrospect You are probably correct...hand brake and starter as this fits the (under?) the similar shaped floor plate. Its been a quite a few years now since I had my beautiful big CMP..
sure makes the cab look much better when installed.."finished" so to speak.

Shifter Boot..........
A couple of years back, I sewed up a boot for Rob of the Hammond Gang. I am sure photos are still on the site.... Hammond 2008 post 164
I have the material to make such items..... and the machines to sew them up. Now..... whether I sew one or twenty.... the set up time is about the same... If there is some interest..... I could run off a batch of repros.... Just testing the waters... Guy PS: This may be as close as I get to re-building a CMP Last edited by guyvapeur; 05-03-12 at 02:09. Reason: new info

I would be interested in two Handbrake/starter lever boots and 3 shifter boots.

Give him the boot.....
For my edification.....
When did the canvass boot start appearing on the CMPS....? I can see the HUP after being driven by an officer and water splashed on his expensive pants...... being retro fitted with a canvas boot.....but... did all cab 13 have them.... or was it a later comfort item that appeared late in the war......?........ and did similar "boots"... for the comfort of the driver ever exist for cab 11 and cab 12....... I suspect that in the cab 11 they just issued rubber boots to the poor driver. Bob
