Default Any surviving sand channels......

I have seen numerous photos of the sand channels either in use or attached to the North African trucks.....BUT..... has anyone ever seen, recorded the dimensions, gauge, size of holes of the sand channels....?

The holes seem to be flared somewhat during the punching process and there are some after market punches designed to do just that.

I do have some airfield runway metal mats but they are very long and very heavy............ and form a much later time period.

Curious to see what is out there that would facilitate doing a repro of the sand channel.

Thanks
