question cab tool blocks in a bedford MW

[Danny P]

On the left picture the pick axe blocks which were fitted in my late bedford mw which, to my opinion, are poor reproductions. On the right side a picture from the internet of some, I believe, correct reproductions for the (early) mw. Does anybody know if these blocks were made according to a certain standard or would they differ in each truck?

 

 

I might be asking too much for the original dimensions of these blocks?

Hi Danny

 

The ones on the right look correct , they are the same pattern of what was left of mine, the only one that wasn't on mine is the one that is on the bottom row far right , is that for the shovel on earlier models instead of the spring clip and block ?

Heres a photo of the ones we made fitted to my truck , also had some of the slotted blocks made that keep the battery cable away from the prop shaft

Hi Danny that looks like a set of blocks I posted on eBay a while ago, they're very close reproductions of early cab blocks the difference is that later cabs did not have the curved block for the Jack as it was located in a different position. I can make you a set using Canadian red cedar or give you a cutting list so you can make your own

Jeremy,

 

Could you give me the cutting list if you don't mind? Trying to safe some money on my project. Postage costs to the Netherlands always annoys me unless you can let the blocks float through the channel.

 

Thanks in advance,

Danny

Danny your pioneer tool holders look correct to me , I have seen more roughly made ones in the past .

[Danny P]

Davey, how many slotted blocks for the battery cable are fitted and at what location were they fitted? Would it be possible to get the measurements of those blocks.

 

Jeremy, would it be possible to get the measurements of the pick axe blocks, if you have some time?

 

Thanks,

Danny

[Davey089]

Who does not ask will not become wiser! :blush:

You're right, haven't answered you but were thinking you would send the picture anyway at some time. Sorry for my misunderstanding. I would love to come to Arnhem but am afraid the truck will not be ready by then. So, a picture and some measurements would be great as an alternative, but please take your time Davey as I appreciate your help.

Thank you Dave, very useful pictures and dimensions!

 

Somebody who has the dimensions of the pick axe blocks as mentioned before (1 floor block and to clamping blocks)? Trying to make some progress on the cab now!
