Looking for Deepwater Fording and Wadeproofing CMPs

[Phil Waterman]

Hi All

With all of the flooding taking place was wondering about the Deep Water Fording and Wadeproofing intstructions for CMPs .

I've search a little and can only find this thread http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ight=deepwater

There must have been detailed instructions does anybody have a copy they can share?

My C60S Pattern 13 had evidence of extensive waterproofing but was this for storage, wading, or full blown deepwater fording is unknown. Mine still had the hole into the bellhousing on the carb side sealed with cosmoline some kind of fabric. The distributors bottom side was similary covered, along with evidence that the dip stick had been sealed as well.

Today I did a study of the height above ground all of the wheel bearings, transmission, fan etc which once I get it compiled I'll share.

One thing is pretty clear given the choice of driving one of the family cars through 2-3 ft of water it will be the CMP I'll be driving.

Cheers Phil

PS No we are not in any of the recent the flood area but if our area ever got the 10+ inchs of rain the roads coming in would be flooded, we look down on the top of the flood control dam. One road way in is designed for it with a 200 yard wide dead level area at the stream crossing to allow water to go over the road in a wide thin sheet. Worst we have ever seen is 6 inchs deep. The other way out is down grade of the spillway and discharge from the dam and has been washed out a couple of times.
