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 01:09. Reason: new info

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

not sure...but
Boobee: Not an expert in this area, but my HUW came with a shaped "felt" boot for the transmission shift arm. I'll have to check it out next time I'm at the shop and take some photos, but will still go with Guy's units if he decides to run a batch. My 2 cents....Robert

I seen the first one he made....
Very nice....looks good on a HUP..... not sure what may fit on a cab 11.
Having driven a M 37 in muddy weather I know that not having proper seals on all the levers protruding in the floor is a guarantee for a wet cold wash..... I figure by the time Guy has done all his orders 20 + he will be really good at it so I will order mine then....hihihi At least I can save on the shipping.... Bob

Different pattern for the Cab 11 and 12.
Quote:
Hi Bob I think you will find that the boot idea works good on the Cab 11 and 12 but that it is a different style of boot. With the starter lever up in the middle of the rear of the dog house, you really need a boot as it is a big source of hot air. While the hand brake lever has a different shape so that the boot needs to accommodate a different sweep. Will try and get some pictures of the Pat 12 boots I made. Cheers Phil
