And here is another pair of 5 spokers on our Gisborne LP2, Hull no 229.

I reckon the first LP2 was no 41. I can't prove it yet, but 229 had Wellington East Coast Mounted Rifles markings from 1942, and the first 200 produced went to the MR regiments.

I have noticed that early production photos and the video, shows five spokers on the front adjusters, while the road wheels are standard six spokers.

Next thing is to change the jack for a commercial Ford jack, and raise the top brace on the bracket. See the pic in the GM assembly plant.
