Default Side curtain rods.....

In all my years I have never seen a complete set of curtain rods.

I have seen pieces and know that they are partly round and flattened towards the end section............. would any one have a set to provide an actual tracing that we could scale up or down onthe computer...????

The door opening is laready ackward enough that many were dispensed with in field conditions ie North Africa.....in Canada in many historical parade square pictures they seem to prefver them tied back against the cargo box.......... and get in and out like a jeep........ I believe the same happened to the canvas side curtains.... the cargo box toe board and sometimes the bonnet or hood cover.

Luck would have it, I got a set of originals NOS curtains from Dirk years ago and fully intend to reproduce a set for my vehicle and keep the original for reference as the plastic window section is all yellow and brittle.

In reality they were not very useful and more cumbersome than we can imagine. In Canada they did use them but the Winter driving weather was a great motivation.
