Bedford MW aeroscreen restoration

[rampant rivet]

again more images as work progresses, Bedford front panel badge, making patterns to have new aero screen brackets cast in bronze, chassis in primer after cleaning down, replacing gearbox after adjustments to get correct clutch pedal and engine coming together.

yes there's more chassis in green with some soda blasted wheel atop which reminds me that I now have two spare Canadian 9.00 x 16 wheel rims for sale dated 1941 and 42 I think.

Jeremy,

How did your windscreen castings go. They look similar to ones fitted to a WOT 2D I have. And I need a couple

Hi

One of my MCC 15 cwt CS8 wrecks here has a couple of the aero screen hinges in situ on the cowl - I'd like to know how the actual screen frame is made . I do have some drawings somewhere from R Ballard but they didn't seem right to me

I made the aeroscreen mount with jeremy, they came out very well thanks, but they all sold very quickly. At the moment i'm not planning to do any more.


John

Are you teasing me Can you do some drawings of those Morris screens Mike

[jack neville]

Mike are the Morris ones similar to WOT ? I do have one original screen largely complete

[Mike K]

I think the Morris screen may be different

I think wot2 are the same as bedford as they seem to have the same mounts. Which mounts are you missing? I may have a couple of one hand left i think.

OK John

if you can find those screens one day I will post you a bottle of Aussie wine Mike

hi Are you sure the Morris screens are bigger ? In this pic, the screens appear to be small to me . Mike
