Perhaps someone here knows if both Ford and Chevy ones were the same and if the ones on Australian vehicles were locally produced and a different design to the Canadian ones. This design has two flat bar steel frames with the canvas sandwiched between them.

I drew up plans of that steel frame about 6 years ago. I can post it here if it helps. I am reasonably sure of the dimensions but at the time of taking them the owner was giving me a bit of a hurry up. I asked if I could borrow it for a week but he wasn't willing to do that. Bet it is still sitting out in the open in central Victoria rotting away.

Cheers,

Hi Jacques

I have a WW2 era GMH side screen . Like you I did some drawings, Keith W had them on his CMP site . The GMH version looks pretty much like your Ford example. Think the forward flap fasteners that are on the w/screen frame are a different style , a GMH / Ford difference. I may have uploaded the drawings to MLU. I believe i purchased the side curtain at the Mike C clearing sale up at Castella ?
