Wanted: Hinge

[Private_collector]

Gary,

Can't help you with the mirror bracket. On Fords that was mounted directly to the cab side panel, not the hinge. Both my vehicles are Ford.

Are you after the door lock mechanism that goes inside the door, or striker/lock plate on rear panel?

Tony

Yes it would be the mechanism inside the door that has the handle out the top of the door.

Here are the images I told you about.

Gary,

I'll check that rifle clip I saved, tomorrow afternoon.

Don't know if the shock arm is same between Ford & Chev, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was different. In fact I would put money on that. I'm sure someone else will know for sure.

Gary,

These are the two rifle brackets I salvaged from that scrap cab. Note they are not identical. Not even close as it turns out, and both are diffferent again from the two which are on my cab (Ford). I believe these were Chev, because the cab had a sunshine roof. The sunshine roof frame was the only bit I wanted, but couldn't see these thrown away.

The smaller one.

The larger one.
Note, both of these were welded to the cab rear panel, and had to be cut off. The spring steel parts that rifle clips into seem to be sound on both. Would be a big job in making brackets to suit.

Mine were bolted, but as I said, mine are Ford and I suspect these are from a Chev, cab 13.

Hey Tony

I have never seen clips like those ones, the one I have looks just like the ones you have and my CMP is a chev. I also had a look in the Manual and it shows the clips you have.

Those could be for a Cab 11 or 12, or maybe someone took them from a carrier or something, lol.

Nope, definately cab 13. Thats what I cut them both from.

I suspect the smaller one is for either BREN LMG or possibly Lee Enfield no. 5. The clip itself is too small for the Lee Enfield no 1, which is the most common weapon carried by aussie 'diggers'. If I had thought to do so, I could have test fitted my LE no5. before I cut the clip off the old cab frame. Probably best I didn't, all the rust would have scratched the barrel.
