Canvas Side Curtain Frame

[Mike K]

I've had a look at the C8 parts list C8-01 ..... I have a Nov. 43 print .

Page 127 lists

Rod , Door curtain - front - right ( British army ) part No. 5800060

Support assembly curtain rod upper 5800014 2 required


CO1Q would be a Ford part number.

Must have been early and late versions of the rods .. confusing isn't it . I had a look at the original side curtains here ..cannot work out how a third rod can fit inside the curtain as the two vertical pockets for the rods are enclosed - sewn together . And , why would the parts book refer to them as Rods ..if they are flat section as Chucks pics show ?

BTW The snaps that hold the lower curtain edge to the door top are the same type as the WW2 Jeep HALF DOOR canvas snaps . These are unusual and not easy to find and very expensive
