    Just used a 1.5mm cutting disc in a 115mm grinder and sprayed the galv first with an etch primer so that I could put a pencil mark on it to follow

    Managed to find some time to start making the runners for the seats started off with a length of this industrial trunking then cut it down lengthways and then formed this joggled edge to end up with something close to this -

    New tank trays getting a coat of etch primer M Tech made a great job of them. Coming soon Nipples yes Nipples ! those funny things that help hold the canvas cover to the rear body. The profile needs tweaking a bit ( don't they all ) and then they'll be good to go.

    Interesting pic Nick taken around the same time as the one shown in the Kaleidoscope of Bedford military vehicles by Bart H Vanderveen page 29 it looks to be taken in the winter of late 39 early 1940 RR.

    Hi Nick Yes my truck was built as a GS model I think in 1939 with such an early chassis No. I know it will be nigh impossible to work out its exact Z number but I would like to get it as near as pos. Thanks for the info so far. RR.

    Hi Nicky Interesting info about Z numbers , I am in the process of trying to work out what Z number should be on my truck, I think it was made under contract 294/T/8102 and its chassis No. is 2947 but I have failed so far to find the Z numbers allocated to that contract. Cheers J Ps. thanks for the donation of the rear can bracket, it all helps :-D

    Another day at it and have managed a second coat on the rear floor frame Have made the packing pieces to go under the frame and these got a coat too along with the rear cross member. Also made a MKII timber cross member to fit to the bulkhead as the first attempt was not correct.

Will have to call by to inspect your vehicles now they are safely home. RR.
