I need a rear hatch and hatch coaming for our Museum's FGT8. And remember my next favourite word after "Deal" or "Barter" is "DONATION"

The next euphemism to use after Ford hatch is "rocking horse poo" - at least this applies fo a Ford hatch not rotted out - these were very prone to rust from condensation because of their double skin construction.
I remember hearing somewhere the hatched used on Aussie Fords were made by an outside contractor who also supplied hatches for Inters, Dodges and other Aussie MVs. The Ford cab 12 hatch I think is the same as the one on other makes.
