Australian Sigvan components
Has anyone got a list (numbers and description ) and pictures of all the radio components and ancillaries fitted to an Australian GM Sigvan ?
Also has anyone got any components to suit for sale ?

stowage
I have the stowage diagram, as published in the 1944 equipment memorandum No. 13 . It lists all the different wireless sets and more eg three sub types - A B C setups . I think the diagram is posted on this forum somewhere already.
BTW if you ever see the 1956 Melbourne Olympics colour movie, they used a army sig van following the marathon runners . Those pics are of AndrewT's van at Corowa maybe ? . He spent over $1000 in fuel driving it to and from the event . in the list of stuff in the diagram , there was a bottle of distilled water for the radio batteries .

I'm not familiar with them but the police motorcycles look to be Square Four Ariels.
