goanna Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 My PU 8 cwt has its original tilt frame . These dimensions may be of use to anyone with a 8 cwt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Ashby Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Thanks for taking the time to produce the drawings and posting them, very useful information and just the sort of thing we all should do from time to time perhaps?, no matter seemingly how obscure the subject may be someone somewhere out there is looking for information and help So here's my contribution a few detail photos taken from the web (sorry I have lost the source references now but thanks to the posters) a number of years ago when I was making an 8cwt hood frame your drawings goanna would have made the whole job a lot easier !!

goanna Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 Hi Pete Those pics look familiar ! David Pope is a Canadian , those snow pics are his pics . David has two C8 vehicles , he is a regular poster on the MLU forum. The drawings I posted in the first post are for the British 8 cwt tilt frame. I should have made that clear - sorry. The British tilt frame ( Morris - Humber etc ) is made from 1" plain tubing . The Canadian tilt frame is made from thick walled plumbers type pipe and the method of mounting to the body is a different setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you come to mention it I think that's where they may have came from or perhaps it was a google image search it was a few years ago now...either way thanks to Dave Pope they were very useful. Thanks for the clarification re your drawings, I'll re-label them in my useful file as British spec only. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
