Shifter boots
I have checked with the Hammond Barn crew..... they do not have any shifter boots to pass on for a pattern. So........if anyone out there has a sample of these double shifter boots and is willing to pass them to me , I can speck them out, and make up some new ones.

Pattern 12 Boots (not orginal)
Hi All
Here are some photos of the Boots on my Pattern 12 these are not based on anything other than the need to cut down on the hot air coming into the cab area from the engine.     The starter boot is held in place by simply sewing a length of stiff plastic tubing made into a loop in the bottom of the boot, which is squeezed through the opening and then expands. Excuse the pine needles in the Pattern 12, such is life for a open cab truck even when parked out for short periods of time it collects leaves and needles. Looking at the remains of the felt under the plate for the starter and parking brake on my HUP it had the simple felt closure on the holes. The felt must have been 1/2 to 5/8ths thick originally. Cheers Phil

Prototype #1 Pattern 13 Hand Brake and Starter Boot
Hi All
I just finished setting up an industrial sewing machine to do the canvas work on my HUP and needed a project, so below you see pictures of Prototype #1 Pattern 13 Hand Brake and Starter Boot. This was accomplished with a little photo interpretation of the photos Marc posted. (Hope this is OK Marc) From the photos and having the dimensions of the mounting trim plate I worked out the measurements and did a cad drawing for template to cut the fabric. Excuse the ugly color fabric it is just scrap synthetic canvas, I found as with most fabrication projects it takes me two or three tries to produce an object that is acceptable to my eye. The first one is temporarily installed in my Pat 13 C60S so I can see how it works, really determine if it is worth the effort. If it is I’ll try and figure out how to post the CAD drawing or the fabric templates full size for easy replication. Cheers Phil
