11 Set stuff

[cletrac (RIP)]

I deciphered the instructions that go on the charging switchboard's door and came up with a pretty good rendition. This picture is actual size and can be printed on some plastic and riveted to the door. It needs a legal sized printer though. It uses 6 rivets.
Ron, the 12 5/8 includes the hinges and the height includes the mounting lug. The depth is the 3" sides plus the 1" doors plus the hinges. It all works out OK. The material is 1/8" or 11 gauge. They must have wanted bullets to bounce off it!
I think the doors just have the edges bent by a break and that gives a bit of a rounded corner.

Ah that answers my queries David. I'm just gathering facts and figures before I make a start. I'm also trying to decide what is happening in the middle where the doors meet. It looks like the left door has a rebate with a flat for the right door to sit on top of? Have you got a better picture of the front than the one I posted? Cheers Ron

Looking excellent I must say . David is making another two , for us Ron

Its amazing what u can buy in hardware stores

I had a loan of an original cab 12 battery box , sits between the seats in the cab - I went ahead and made a repro box . Anyway , the locking catch on the lid had me worried, where to find one . The hardware store in Warragul had the identical catch , 60 years later and you can buy the exact same thing . I guess a nail is a nail and a bolt is a bolt

That would be nice Mike David I'll PM you with my email address. I'm not having any luck down loading those four pix at the correct size. Ron

I printed out an inverted set of pics of the panel and they're easier to see some stuff. It was then just a matter of taping the images to the panel and centre punching the holes. No measuring required. I drilled through paper and all so no mistakes in hole sizes. Slicker 'n snot!!!

I got this wire reel off a forum member. It's the same as the 11 set one except it doesn't have the brackets to hold the connectors.
