That's a lovely truck....well done Gordon.

I am also very jealous of your work space!

Thank you Alex, the new work shop is so nice to work in, lots of room, good insulation and excellent lighting. The old shop was a bit of a dark hole, poor lighting, poorly insulated and crowded. Gives me some place to play on long winter days, should have done it years ago.

As an aside to the HUP, the body number is 935, so an early 1942.

....and up to your excellent restoration standards.

Replacing the clutch disk on the C15a..... a real night mare on a cab 11...... will write up my trials and tribulation inthe hope of saving some ones time in the future.

Cheers

Hi Bob

Trying to remember how many bolts have to be undone to get the doghouse off on Pattern 11? Think for clutch job is is just both seats, battery box with supports, and the rear of the dog house. Can't remember if you have to pull the side panels as well.

Be fun to have a time lapse of the process.

Cheers Phil

The 11&12 cab trucks are not easy trucks to work on. It requires a special kind of barking mad too want one. Good luck on that one.

Nice to hear from you......

Had to remove the toolbox from behind the cab...... remove the floor and rear cab wall as one unit and slide it back.......... the rear engine support cross member is in the way so had to take out the shifting fork and the fulcrum pin to be able to shimmy the clutch disk out followed by the clutch pressure plate.....

Now to do it all in precise reverse order and try to keep the clutch plate clean...... it is a 3 hand job.... me underneath and Grant working from above and we may have to cut up a centering input shaft shorter to make things easier.

Will take pictures and post details on MLU eventually......

Gordon, Carriers are the same. I believe the moment that British influence touched a design of anything, that becomes the status quo.

"British Standard" means: No!, there is not a captive nut in the bottom at the back. There is a series of nuts and split pins, and any doubt about that should just fly away, because you can clearly see that you can't get two fingers in there.
