Default nice !!!

Jordan,

That is a great find. They are a very rare CMP item. Have you thought about reproducing them?

Brian

Ok things are now back on track. Not wanting to loose anytime after work to sleep I've got the sheet metal brake back together and things are all fixed up. I replaced the stud with some high strength set screws. I then used some spare box channel and c channel I had to make holder. This will now support the other end of the stud and should keep it from bending up. I'll keep going with this until the next part lets go and then that will be beefed up.

Default Well..

Missed that thread...

But invaluable info... many thanks Brian.

Was wondering what the little loopholes were for on the back wall of the Cab.
Now I know..

Well today I went for a bit of drive after following up on a lead from another MLU'er. This will really help with moving this Wire-3 project along. Its not mine, but just on loan to me so that I may make a copy.

The elusive Wire-3 Fitted For Wireless operators table.

Default Wow ...what a find.....

Will the extensions open up enough to go from cargo side to cargo side on your 2C1......?

Given time should be easy to replicate.

Cheers

I believe after now looking over the table that the side extensions were simply to fit different radios. There is a variety of mounting holes on the table surface. There is a small pull out writing table. It would pull out towards whom ever was sitting in the seat.

Would It be possible for you to make some drawings and details photos of it.
I am just about to finish the British version of the wireless table and this could be fun to make as well ?
Cheers Niels

I'll see what I can do but it's not the simplest of construction with how the pieces are all cut and welded together.


Well the plan for today was.....to go out and get all the steel for making the wireless table. However events transpired in keeping me from the shop till 1930hrs. I did manage to cut some parts to basics lengths and also made a few smaller bits. I also made up two of the pass through frames. These mount to the upper cab wall sheet metal.
