Default Tell us about the metal brake.....

....... any pictures of the braking beauty????

Watching with great interest, has I have to do one for the my cab 11. Still debating whether to patch up the best 2B1 box I have or build a one new from scratch using what models I have as a pattern.

Did you ever noticed the difference ( and lessons learned from ripped pant seat bottoms).....

Viewed from the rear when closed the cab 11 tailgate is all smooth with all the bracing on the inside...... so when held open with chain you had a rough surface to sit on....

On the cab 13, all the bracing is facing outside ( so you have to do a good welding/fabricating job) and when the tailgate is open the inside is smooth........

Grant has found his jig for making his hinges from strap steel and should be posting soon.

Cheers
