FAT update....Looking for...
details on back camo poles and camo bag. Missing a dozen of the 2 1/8 inch footman loops, No. 2 rifle clips and and always your input into stowage in the back of this FAT body. Can anyone help with the roof opening canvas and the support frame work dimensions? Also looking for a local Manitoba 20 inch rim on KIJIJI for the spare. Its come along way, just about ready to mount it on the back of the chassis. Tried to keep it original as possible with the little dings and dents/stretched skin etc... Cheers Rob

Rear body cover CGT
Rob
A have a few pics of an original F.A.T. roof set up when I was in Newtonville in 2003. It was fairly straight forward; I made the support from 3/4 black pipe, just slightly raised so you gain a slope so rain will run off. The canvas roof cover is actually attached to the roof of the front body than again to the front of the rear body. You can see remnants of the canvas in the first picture. Good reference picture is the last one. There is also another good one in the CMP Maintenance manual. Walde Last edited by Walde Libera; 02-04-12 at 22:12. Reason: spelling

Thank you Walde...
great pics. It looks the whole crossmember canvas support is held together on both ends with a piece of flat iron and bolted into place in existing holes already there. Can you help me with the rise of the cross member in the center? The window pic also reveals how the canvas front retaining clip actually clips over a small tit on the top of the cab. I wonder how complicated this cover actually is? Surely there must an orginal??? Cheer for now and thanks again. Rob

Fat body on today...
starting to look like a narly FAT. Tony did a quick canvas strip around the cab and body just to keep us semi weather proof. Missing a couple of Lee Enfield rifle clips mounted inside the Fat body on top of the cupboard marked NO. 2... Slightly larger clips than the No 1 clip, has this difference in clip size been talked about on this forum??? Tony does all of the work... Cheers Rob
