Default thank you

Great to hear that

Berry, my friend from Sault Ste Marie was here in Pilsen 2 months ago, maybe he's going to arrive next year. You have a PM.

Niels, if I am right the rear part of the rear body of cab 13 and cab 12 FATs are identical, could you please send me the pictures of the scotches as well as photos of the brackets?

Thank you both

Frankie

Hi Frantisek
From what I have found and seen the scotches are mounted in the rear mudguard of a cab 13 but I have found no traces of this on any of the cab 11/12 I have seen.
This is by the way the scotch I have a set of http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=25213
they are fairly simple but rather heavy.

Hello
could those two hooks located each side of the frame be the brackets for the scotches?

That must be the hook for the chain and wire when you use the sotch,

thank you all...

What about the Chevrolet? I haven't found any information about them in MB-C1 manual...

My father told me he had a pair of those on C60S Wrecker. But they could be added after the war, when the wrecked was used in city transport maintenance company.
