Now that you have the Otter safely home, are you going to be changing the title of this thread to, “My Old C15A”?

Done - how does "C15a Wire-3 restoration" sound like?

The temperature gauge, choke and hand throttle cables have all been installed. I tested out the original temp gauge bulb the other day in some boiling water and all is good. The choke and hand throttle cables are all functioning nice and smooth. I also started to make an adjustable linkage for the throttle. More pictures to follow tomorrow.

Jordan , in your post about the Bonnet catches you show 2 NOS ones , did you notice that they are Ford produced ones ? the Chevrolet versions are not so far folded round .

I’ve never noticed a difference in them.

I thought I’d compare the truck windshield to the armoured window for the Otter. Just a slight difference in size.

I also made up the last throttle linkage I needed. Now just to do all the minor adjustments. Lastly the gas pedal got a new pivot pin as well the old one was non existent. I’ll hopefully have this all sorted out tomorrow.
