rupert condick Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Hi The one cabinet is for the water tank the since lined one would be for(guess) bandages as zinc lined boxes were used to transport nothing in days gone by for the tropics, There should be a leather (rubbing) strip on the lid(yet To do)First aid kit for driver and mate, field dressings are a perfect fit in this lower section. I do not have any details what should go in these cabinets. regs Rupert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan76 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Looks super! 💪 Like the tyres too, looks like they also do 1100 x 20s which would fit a green goddess - quite a hard size to find! Duncan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rupert condick Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Hi there HNY me been picky again, for the door post mirrors they used the same brackets as the roof mounted mirrors, and side screens were only fitted to the passenger side, from mid 1941 intermittently to the drivers side, then both sides from about the same time. nice work thought. early Austin with single side screen and mirrors. I do not know if this was a duel panel, as later on but there is a change in the part number. regs Rupert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
