The original 13" wheels mount on special adapters that have the standard civilian Chev bolt pattern on one side. Somebody had a set fabricated for a restoration . I think all CAD cut or a similar modern method
The original wheels were often removed because the tyre size isn't common In some respects the Duple body is similar to other British 8cwt bodies but the lockers are different. Plans exist for the Morris 8 cwt body , you could use those as a basis for a new Duple body Didn't find a chassis number on mine anywhere. I had another later cab 12 C8 that came from a property at Flowerdale Nth of Melbourne. This later one had 6th div and 1st Arm div markings on the cowl and Z4544183 .

I was considering knocking up adaptors for the standard 16" wheels a I notice the c15 4x2 seem to run those. it would be no major hassle for me to do the same for the 13" although if I end up fabricating a set of 13" I might as well make them fit sans adapters. really I suppose I'm just trying to work out how she should have been originally and recreate the look. would you know where I could get the plans for the Morris tray from?
Thanks for the feed back too mate I appreciate it I have spent hours reading threads on here and there is that much information its mind blowing that's why I decided I had to become a part of it to move forward so apologise in advance if this has already be covered in another thread. |
