In 1994 Brian , Les and I went to Portsmouth on our way to Normandy for the 50th. A gentleman there graciously let me spend about two hours in the back of his truck carefully getting detailed measurements and photos of his Motley Mount that came from Portugal. He said they were made in Canada but there was no identifier on it. I probably drove Les and Brian crazy going back all the time to check this thing out. I made two copies of it with the only difference being they were the mature model with the main pipe frame being a little longer for the tummy. It was just too cramped. The one in the photo with my daughter Dawn is the prototype and you can see the main pipe was made in sections to try and get the angles right. The second one was all one piece.
Dawn's picture is in the back of Mel Norwick's 8cwt and I think Hanno has a better photo of that truck. I need some ideas of what I could use for a rubber eye piece.
