Default UC-1* Details

Jordan and Richard,

Thanks for your comments. The jack clip makes sense, there is a jack holder bracket still intact on the rear deck. There is an intact battery cable conduit that runs under the fan and rad to the battery tray. What is the name of the company that makes the engine brush? I guess I need to find a Boys AT Rifle now!

I am wondering if someone used the switch as a starter switch? It would be kind of a sneaky place to hide it. Anyways, it is coming off. We are rebuilding an instrument panel - thanks to some components picked up from Brian Ashbury.

Default Mk1 UC-1* Resto

Guys,

Thanks for the tips and comments so far. I'll switch to the Restoration Forum from here on out. I'll do this UC-1* up in honour of my grandfather, who served as a driver/mechanic/infantry with the Lincoln & Welland Regiment, 4th Canadian Division in Holland - Spring of 1945. If anyone has any pictures of L&W Mk1's in action, I'd greatly appreciate a copy.

Cheers!
