Default Measured what I had.....

We measured what we believe are original centre ridge pipes.....4 of them that were gifted by David Moore.

Diametre 1 1/16 about 1/8 thick threaded water pipe. Grant is trying to find what out what is currently available for making repro.

Yes Hanno by all accounts (99%) from pictures the 2B1 hasthe floppy bows with no horizontal bars like the cab 13, No happy with floppy bows!!!!

The curious thing about the centre ridge bars is that they are made of 3 pieces joined by thread and a simple union section.

The ex Jon S. cab 13 that is now owned by Gary in Kingston has what I believe is original bows/pipes and original dated 1943 tarp and will get measurements from him soon.

Are the hooks that you showed onMLU from a 2C1 or a early 2B1

Will take some pictures of my box rebuild progress today.

Hoping to do a second coat of POR today if the winds calm down.

Cheers
