Question about Cab 12 Chevrolet FAT

[Phil Waterman]

Hi Bob

MB-C2 (W) Supplement To Maintenance Manual MB-C2 Covering Special Cold Weather Equipment link from my site seems to work from here. But try the full address http://canadianmilitarypattern.com/S...0Equipment.htm if that dosen't work try going to my site directly http://canadianmilitarypattern.com/ and look down under the section Manuals and Drawings and try clicking on the link from there.

Please let me know if it doesn't work so I can fix the links.

Cheers Phil

Hi Guys
I have another small question is this the correct mirror bracket for a cab 12 cgt. It appears to be made from a door hinge.

Hi Niels

Matches the mirror bracket on one of Bill Gregg's http://canadianmilitarypattern.com/R...20color005.jpg


But does not match the other http://canadianmilitarypattern.com/R...20color004.jpg


If you want a larger hi-res version of these photos go to http://canadianmilitarypattern.com/CMP84.htm and click on the image or click the links above.

(note I'll post actual copies of the photo to MLU when I have a moment for archive purpose)

Thanks Phil
Well the one that matches is a Chevrolet and the other is a Ford, so that could be the reason for the difference?

Is it possible to retrace where a Army auxiliary workshop (B42) was during the war?
and what the original census number was?

different mirror locations is a Ford/Chev thing

Hi
Here is another set of questions.
Does any one know if it is correct that the fire extinguisher was placed to the right of the driver, beneath the sidewindow ? on a Cab 12 GT
There are six holes in the side placed in pairs at an angle.
The placement and distance between these holes corresponds well to the size of a Pyrene extinguisher, The problem is that on all the british vehicles I have seen/worked on the bracket for a Pyrene have 5 mounting holes.

Did the Canadians use a different bracket than the british? and if so how does it look and where do I find one?
Second question
In wartime pictures it looks like there was a pad on the inside of the roof, does any one have any dimensions or pictures of this and know how it was attached? there are no visible holes in the hatch of mine for a pad.
Cheers
