Where are they Bruce? I’d be very interested in a few if you knew where I could find them.

Another very nice restoration Jordan. Watching with interest.

Another nice find for this project. The Otter windscreens. I’ve only found one wartime picture with them fitted.

Nice find, Jordan.

Was their an Installation Kit for the windscreens, or were the Otters built with the basic hardware for windscreens preinstalled?

There is a similar windshield for the Fox, and it even has a defroster that plugs into the dash inspection lamp socket. The openings are not adapted, they simply are a hinged armoured block with a strip welded around the opening to prevent bullet splash. The windows are made to sleeve into the openings with cutouts to avoid hinges, locks, etc. and have a spring loaded swivel catch to hold them in place. They would be a great help driving any distance at speed or in the cold but do limit your visibility.

This is the windscreen for the Fox AC as mentioned by Bruce.


David, no I believe these were standard issue with the Otters. But it was just one of those items hardly ever seen.

Found another picture with the windscreen in place.

Another nice mail delivery. An NOS voltage regulator as used in the Otter.
