With some pictures and a few measurements from a connection here on the forum we made a copy of the spare wheel carrier. this carrier is fitted on to the roof of this type of wireless body's. Still looking for some information about this type of carrier. ( see previous post)

Hello, I am looking for information! if you have a good look at the picture there is some sort of wedge on the rear to keep the spare wheel at its place. Made the spare wheel carrier but missing this information , its good possible that this rear blocking devise is bolted on to the main spare wheel support ?

See on the last page , this is my charging set up . Guy

The two deviding strips between the roof and side panels are fitted, we also have glass in the rear window and this last window is screwed on to the rear door. Now it's only the little front window that's next on the agenda. Repaired the 3 original rooftop ventilation units and made the grip that sits over the rear ventilation box.

What are you looking for ? Guy

Some update on the project. Fitted the left window and now I also resaved the information from a nice follower of this thread that the dividing strip between the side panel and roof is made out of wood. So we started to make the side strip with the measurements I received. The roof ventilator now have a fresh coat of wrinkle paint. It's good possible that the ventilator is post war but looks the business for me.

One side window in its place , up to the left side !

Canvas glued over the roof and tidying the ridge between roof on side panels. Trying to find out what the dividing strip was between the roof and the side? Was it a wood strip, are a metal strip that was used for this purpose, on the pictures I have of these radioboxes it's difficult to make out . On all the junctions of the panels there where metal strips used that's sûre.

We have glass in one of the window frames, still two to go. Left side and rear next to fit the glass into the completely new made copy's of the remains of a very bad frame. Hopefully we can mount these frames in to the radiobox this coming weekend

The epdm ( rubber) membrane is glued over the roof. And now leave to settle the canvas cover that the creases getting out of the canvas. Just fitted some wight on the edges of the canvas to get it real flat before I glue it on to the roof.

Hello goanna. Thanks for the link , but I have the original maintenance and instruction book for the 4x2 truck 15 cwt. But I am looking for a original driver's handbook, have the copy one but a original one should be nice to fit in it's holder behind the driver seat. Can swap for a instruction book of CS8 and PU four wheelers (see pictures).

Indeed, surely the rear Signals AOS came out a bit small , I cam live with the size of the Brigade Piron sign Pity but its painted and difficult to modify . Thanks for the comment . Guy

After 7 long years, the engine is running again.. On the mechanical side I still have the brakes to bleed and adjust the handbrake rods . Now for the moment looking to glue a epdm ( rubber) membrane over the roof planks to get the radiobox waterproof. There after the canvas roof cover will come over the rubber membrane to have it a authentic look. 20240619_093035.mp4

What a brilliant restoration, hopefully we will see the combination next September in Holland .

Been fiddling with the wiring and we have ignition , even the engine started on some brake cleaner. Now sorting the lights and the I can start on the fuel system.
