Hello John:

The uniform is something I'll wear when the Jeep is on display, or at different shows. I appreciate your tips.

I've volunteered over the past few years at the Lincoln & Wellington Regiment Museum at Fort George in Niagara-on-the-Lake, worked mostly on restoring a 1940 Ford 8cwt....... "got 'er going". This, and all vehicles (civilian as well) up to the 1950's used SAE/USS style (tall head) bolts and nuts...... weasels included.......... (mine is at the Canadian Military Museum in Brantford). A fellow told me years ago that original fasteners count for points on restored vehicle judging........... not that mine will be in that position, but I want originals because of their visibility.

Thanks for your invitation....... that is usually the weekend of Russell's airshow in Niagara Falls, attended by the L & W. We need more weekends in summer!

Many thanks for your info.

K C
