Timing is everything......
The Barn Boys probably could take up some measurments and additional photos for you...... however....... 'tis a bit chilly and frozen out there right now and we are getting a light dusting of snow over the next few days ......say a foot or so.....
...... if you can be patient ... there are rumours that Spring is a few months away. Meanwhile I would suggest you get yourself a copy of the new publication on HUP HUP and everything you need to know about HUPS written by one of the Barn boys...Rob Clarke hisself.......available from Service Publication advertised elsewhere on the MLU. Bob

Hi Jonathon,
Could I offer a suggestion to overcome your dimension problem. Are you familiar with Google "Sketchup". It is an amazing drawing programe you can download free. It can do all sorts of clever things and comes with plenty of help and tutorials. If you can get someone to take some reasonable size pics of a HUP for you the dimensions can be measured off the photo once it has been imported into the programme. It is important for them to be taken square on. You would need one of each side and one front and one back. Maybe even one from above if that was possible. You will need a reference on each photo to enable you to set the scale on the programme. I would use two pieces of light coloured masking tape with good solid black lines on them. Set them a given distance (say 2 metres) apart on the vehicle before taking the photo. The actual distance doesn't matter as long as you know what it is. Once the photos are imported into Sketchup and the scale set you can measure off any dimension or angle on the photo. It is quite easy to use and very accurate. I don't have a vehicle to photo for you but I know of a very good one a couple of hours drive away. The owner may aggree to take the pics if you can't get them from anywhere else. Best wishes for success with your project. Regards, Terry

following up....
Hi Terry/Jonathan: Mr Computer Illiterate here (Robert). Nice idea.....although I wouldn't be able to handle it! I pm'd Jonathan tonight to try and help him out with photos and measurements etc. My HUP ZL is pretty well there and he is more than welcome to photos and measurements......what ever he needs. I told him I will be at the shop this weekend and can email all the stuff to him. Worse case scenario.....I'll send it all to you and you restructure it in your fancy schmancy computer whatever. Cheers.....Robert

As Bob sayes timing is everything

Hi Bob Hit the nail on the head, if you had asked this question when I had the HUP body off the chassis and turned on its side it would have been easy. But with the HUP finished it is tucked up in an unheated garage bay for the winter and it is a bit to cold and dark to get meaning full measurements. Whose got their HUP where it is warm and light enough to get the needed measurements? Cheers

Jonathan,
I think it would be best if you could measure up a HUP yourself. If the C8A owners in the UK on this forum don't chime in, contact the Canadian Register via www.canadianregister.co.uk, they should be able to get you in touch with some. HTH, Hanno

A touch closer....
Well Nick, you ARE just a wee bit closer than Vancouver. Tried to get in touch with Jonathan, but his email address and phone number just aren't coming across. Just PM'd him to verify. Cheers......Robert
