There are 3 photos in the design branch records. I went to photograph them, but the camera batteries died. So they are now on the charger. If no-one else posts the same photos in the next couple hours, I'll give it a whirl.

Thnkx are these photos on the CMP factory CD ? Any ideas on a replacement seal for the sliding roof hatch, removed hatch and repaired sliders, removed old seal or what was remaining, not sure what material is was ?

Hi David: I have done up copies of the "photos" from the ZL Manual, which are a little more revealing than the one you posted. Copied on "gloss" photo paper really helps out on the the detail and clarity (for those out there making copies). If you want to, pm me with your email address, I can scan and send you the photos. However.....don't be in too much of a rush this week.....I'm having some "glitches" with my computer and just need to get my neighbour over here to get it straightened out. Hope this helps......Robert

Sorry David.....I meant Gordon. But I'll email you copies also. OR maybe you guys want to buy a copy of the ZL Manual which will show you all aspects of the rear of the vehicle. $100.00 each mailed to you. Let me know....Robert

Here is what little I have.

[Gordons]

Here is what the interior looked like, made entirely of light plywood, except the chorehorse enclosure which was made of checker plate, have now stripped out interior except chorehorse

Have been in touch with Gordon to give him the "details" for his unit. Robert

But did you kept the detail of the Rifle attachement on the roof?? That's the fist time I see something like this...would be interested in some pictures.When possible could you also arrange some detailed pictures of the door for the corehorse?? Many thanks Pieter

Rob do you have any idea if the interior compartments shelving etc where made of wood or metal ? I get the impression the interior should have been metal, the wood cabinet's looked to me to be home made added at some point over the years, front table was not what I have seen in books, the front table should have been a folding table, not fixed ?

What did you use for the sliders?? I have to rebuild a complete Hatch..

[Gordons]

2 rife brackets mounted above the rear door and at rear of the sliding hatch, 2 rife brackets mounted behind driver and passenger in front of the sliding rear hatch.

Do you know where your HU-MACH came from? Is it the one from Frank Grant in Limehouse (Ontario)? If I recall that one came up on E-bays a few times. If it is I have some idea of its history.

[Gordons]

yes the vehicle, drives nice, engine runs nice, body and chassis are very good solid, not bad for age, some rust in frt window frames, could do with a complete new wiring harness, not sure about the rear interior did not look original, made of plywood, maybe someone tried to make it look original, I stripped it out .

I examined the photos in the design record carefully with a magnifying glass, they look to be metal. The two battery boxes are wood, and you can see the dovetailing on the fronts.

There almost appear to be wooden strips on the housing beneath the workbench.

The whole design of your drawers is not the same as the photos I have shown. I think you are likely right about them being a similar (but different) copy.
