Catch 22 LBDR

@ The Ulster Military Vehicle Show.

Hi

Are there any frame or reinforcement folds in the locker doors ?

Yes in some of them, I will try and get some pictures for you.

So, fitted the lights and number plate after giving the back a good coat of paint. It looks much better now. I think I will fit flat lenses in the future. I also fitted the rear right locker door.

Finished making and fitting the winch brake cover.

The brake master cylinder cover.

Commanders hatch. I did the hinge a bit differently, but it works fine.

commanders seat frame.

I did give it a go with a similar method using a bearing press, but it just wasn't good enough. I will post up my attempts latter.:undecided:

how are you going to put the cross pressings into the seat pans ?

 

Pete

I'm not. There is a tool called a bead roller for doing them, but I don't have one...... yet.

Started work on some of the finer details, Hard to see two days work hear!

Just finished making the seat box/winch cover

Since Quads were only fitted with one brake light and one tail light, and in different locations it gives me a little bit of artistic license when bring it up to modern safety standards.

I took an idea from some ww2 pictures and adapted it with period lights. One side will have the number plate on and the other will be a unit flash.

Tell me what you think?

Look what the Landrover dragged into CombatCars!!

Locker door number three fitted!

Can't wait to see this machine on the road. Keep up the good work.

Made and fitted the front roof section, and made and fitted the second window.

Locker door number 2 fitted and number 3 made ready to be fitted.

Hi Ross , Lovely to see her progressing so nicely , Could I ask where you got the window channel from please ?

Best wishes Andy:-D

Thanks Andy. Most of the parts I had, cant get the rail that the window slides on though. Might have to get that made unless I can find someone with one for a door. Hope this helps.

Looks like bar thread to start with and prob the Landrover Avon tire after that.

Hear is a pic of an Irish Army CJ3B

The first of eight windows.

Fitted some old tires to the rims, soon I will have CJ3A wheelbarrow.

Here is two pictures of the one in primer fitted, to the back of a Cab 12 CGT

if that sparks any memories :cool2:

Nice one, I was trying to credit you for the pictures but do you think I could find your name! lol :rotfl:

My one worked out a bit longer than yours.

Ah, so that also answers my other question of how the spare wheel was held on. So if I have got it right there is long bolt, that can fold down, and the wheel retaining plate fits in those clips when the spare wheel is not in place? Presumably there is enough room to tweak the wing nut tight to stop the retaining plate from jumping out of the clips when driving without the spare wheel in place.

 

When we see the work you are doing it is hard to appreciate how much research you are doing in the background!

 

trevor

An unbelievable amount of research, pictures, drawings and dimensions. In some cases you just have to try it and see. :nut:
