Catch 22 LBDR Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 With the sun out for the weekend I decided to take the Quad out to her first show. It got a massive amount of interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11th Armoured Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 That must be a really good feeling, getting to the stage where you can even think about displaying it to the public - a lot of hard work, but it's definitely paying off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeePig Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 [ATTACH=CONFIG]116102[/ATTACH] What is the purpose of this feature? I see pictures of quads with a plate in this location, and others that have nothing at all in this area, and I am mystified as to its use... trevor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels v Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 these brackets were used for holding down the firing platform or spare tire (there is discussion about which). Most beetle back gun tractors lost their rear body in civilian service, and when then restored people dont have anything to measure from and therefore it doesnt get fitted.

Catch 22 LBDR Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 I went off a few different pictures ( some of CMP's etc) and some common sense. There is a long bolt and wing nut there for holding the spare wheel on. The recess is so that the bolt can be stored out of the way when moving the wheel. Hear are some pictures that were sent to me (I can't remember who, so many people have helped me I cant keep track of them all now) of one from a CMP Quad. It's a bit shorter than the morris one because the CMP has a steeper angle on the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeePig Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some cases you just have to try it and see. :nut: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niels v Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I am just glad to help. I am still pretty sure the other brackets to secure the platform on back are identical, if you ever get hold of a drawing of them please share Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
