knob- original or not?
 

Hello.

I have these litte knobs all the way around my cargo bed for my C15A. I believe these are non original and a post war add on? The metal hooks I presume is original.

just want to make sure befor I remove them and weld the holes up.

So ..original or not?

they are original , do not remove them,

Please do not remove the knobs. I am sure they are original, used to hold tarpaulin securing straps (rubber or leather with a round hole and slit to go around the knob). I'm sorry but I can't find photos right now to support this.

:doh: :doh:

wow....i was sure this was post war. Thanks for stalling me guys!! :teach: :teach: :teach: Does anyone have a picture of this in use?

Generally speaking, when the welding is crap, it's orginal! :D

Great point on originality
 

Hi Hanno

Great point on originality, I'd add don't clean of the weld splatter. When I was restoring the HUP it became clear that there must have been a pecking order in the welding assignments. If it was not going to show, it went to a new welder, if it was going to be something that showed or was critical it was done by an experienced welder.
