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.

Thanksgoes to the collective knowledge on this forum for helping me identify the proper items to eventually rebuild this part back to brand new condition.

The Otter wiring junction box. The box with two fuses had the power from the battery come in then go out to the interior light and wheat lamp. The wireless set power cable also was wired into this box. The box held two Slydlok 1533 fuse holders and fuses. Interestingly enough these are still made and readily available. The over painted fuse box is a picture I took while visiting the Overloon Museums Otter. The other one is what is left in my Otter.

Another nice original component added for the rebuild.
