I want to make those of my fat cab 12 could they be in rubber?
As far as I know, rubber rationing came in following the fall of Malaya and the Dutch East Indies in early 1942. Before that, I believe all types of CMP had rubber mudflaps.

Yes that's correct Owen rubber mud flaps fitted to the rear only, rubber trim on door sills and around the arch bar to seal the outer engine casing panels and of course on 12 cabs the windscreen seal.

PS seeing your post suddenly reminded me I haven't sent you the throttle cross shaft I promised you I'll look it out for you.

Default Rear mud flaps

Owen here's a photo taken during restoration of my C15A 12 cab it should blow up enough to show the flaps clearly they are exact copies of an original flap and fixing bar that I used as a pattern. From memory the rubber was around 5mm thick the screws holding the fixing bar are dome head machine screws with nuts and spring washers on the inside

No problem at all Pete. I assumed you'd been taking advantage of the unusual "global warming" we've had in the UK of late!

Default Things to remember.......

Early models of the cab 11 did not have any door seals on the arch bars....that was primarily a cab 12 luxury item.

As rubber became scarce steering wheel went to wood, mud flaps went from rubber to canvass and cab's various seals went to flat canvass oil/tar impregnated and thicker canvass welting. There is evidence that body spacers we made of recycled car tire sidewalls. Spare tires also became the norm. Old stock would still have been in various overseas stores.

Changes started to happen approx. same time as cab 13 came on the scene.... no specific dates as changes were made as supplies on the assembly lines dried up.


cheers

Owen here on the net I once saw this picture.

I think it looks like supplied rubber with a rope processed for strength.
and he is mounted on a waterbowser.
So hopefully you have a conclusive proof of what type of mudflap was mounted there.


cheers Guy.
