Thx Dave, Merry Xmas

I had a 19set that I put in for a mock-up, I am hoping someone can help out with the window size and placement for the canvas. I also found these gate bolts that will work for the top frame to box tie downs. I will spot weld them to the box. They should work well.

Jim

Default wireless

Your pic showing the 19 set mockup: The FFW bodies had a hole cut in the floor in front of the wireless ops seat , a metal dished pan fitted into the hole , this pan was for the wireless ops feet.

I do have the wireless table drawings for the 11 set but your 19 set looks pretty good sitting there.

The canvas is a guessing game. I don't know of any surviving original canvas.

The original tail gate latches on my Morris are not 'antiluce' they are flat pegs through a slot.

I got the measurements for the wireless fit up from Rory which probably came from you Mike and my floor has its original operators foot well.

The windows on mine are 11"x 16" which could be confirmed by scaling from original pictures although lots didn't have windows. Mine has roll down canvas shutters on the inside. Ron

Mike Kelly do you think you could post or pm me the details on the wireless fit up.

Thx Jim
