I might get time in the weekend, so I could measure mine.
both mine have a tube cross about 0.5 inch in diameter.
I might have found a nose in Norway

What do you think about the rear body and the boxes
All the rear body looks very homemade, bad weldings, different size of steel...
Is this rear body and boxes original or was it badly restaured?

Regards
Sylvain

Hi Sylvain
It looks like a rebuild rear end, but of the right design.
The hatchs have the correct shape but the way they are constructed are not correct, I have attached a picture of how they schould look, they are made of one folded sheet.
I have also attached a picture of when mine was rebuild back in the early nineties.
The weld of sheet to the frame on mine is originally very crude, have attached a picture, so dont be to worried about that.

From what I have seen the rear body of a Cab 12 and Cab 13 gun tractor, look very identical. But I havent measured a cab 13 to confirm it.
Maybe some of our Cab13 CGT owners can help?

Sorry, I thought the style of the doors, not the dimensions... that thay are made of one piece folded sheet.. I won't hack this thread anymore, will ask somewhere else
