Ok, thanks for the info

Doug,

I guess I should have replied to your post over on the weasel forum but seeing that I am here, here is a thought. As an interim measure, why not consider having an aftermarket top made similar to Rob Walsh's efforts:

http://forums.m29cweasel.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2792&highlight=canvas

The modern materials will most probably better stand up to your climate. I have a NOS top that I will only use for shows as the 65yo canvas is very fragile. As highlighted by many weasel owners, finding an OEM top let alone the take off hardware can be dufficult.

Good luck and cheers

John W.

Thanks John,

I have just emailed Robert

So, has anybody got some good clear photos of the weasel canvas clips/ hardware etc? I seem to keep hitting a dead end:nut:

Thanks Degsy

So, having just sold my 3 year rebuild of my USA imported Willys Jeep, I have found a weasel.

Anyone on here good contacts for parts info etc? I have joined the M29c Forum too.

I am in need of the canvas and or the hardware.

I know I haven't been on here much for a few years but film work has been keeping me very busy.

any help is much appreciated

Doug

Very interested! About 10 of us in 41st armoured infantry kit and George with his M3 international half track, loved the last A&E!!

that's the armoured jeep built by forum member armourer doug a couple of years back and now sold on,it is Mahindra based and a fair copy of the t25 prototypes built but never put into production

Yep, I built that on the chassis of a mahindra military jeep, it was bought in to the UK by a British army major when he left India , I sold it to my mate almost a year ago and took it to Normandy and war and peace, we also took it to slouches last September , I am halfway through a 1945 jeep now.

It was built for WW2 Airsoft games so I modified it slightly from the original pics of the T25's that were built in 41/42. It was a fun projects and drives so well with the overdrive I fitted:-)

Doug

So, I take it you are not doi g the evening 40's bash Jack? Pity,,,, I'm 45! :DHa ha if you do decide to do anything, Dog Company will be there to back it

Doug

It's never going to be bang on, but it's close and a bit of fun:D and let's face it, who has ever seen one close up?:angel:Of course I diddnt chop up a war time jeep, it was a CJ but,,,,still a jeep:laugh:

Doug

Oh and by the way, welcome in. I am the sensible one!!!

Sorry Rosie I missed your question! It's out this summer I believe, there is a teaser-trailer on line now for Prometheus , look out for the 8wd vehicles, I worked on those😉

doug

One of the SFX engineers I worked with on the last 3 harry potter films was the guy that put the jeep in the pond!:-)

Ok thanks, it's just I can't book on until I know what vehicle I will be in, mine or in James GMC either way realy don't want to miss this:shocked: is there a date you have set as a cut off for last years attendees?

All the best

Doug

Stripped the front hubs today and also started painting the body , have 5 of the 7 armoured rifle slot plates fitted and working too, will be scouring the January events for more parts. Need this finished and on the road for march for an event my group is at!

Doug

HI Jack,

Whats the chances of brining my armoured jeep (T25 E3) project to this? We as a group will be bringing James 1941 hard top GMC CCKW 353 with cappola and 50 cal mount as well as about 10 us uniformed troops from our group.

Although the Jeep is a modern replica it is very unique and armoured! I did put a thread up earlier in the year and I will have it finished fora ww2 event in March

I hope you say yes:cool2:

many thanks Doug

am back in the UK now, will re start on the T25 in a weeks time:-D

this is it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,it will be finished about march with luck, have got most of the parts now including wheels, needs a total rewire and service, but thats not a major problem. hope it is acceptable?
