Default not that I would do a screen copy

Hi Gordan

Yes, agree epay is going to crush it self with unreasonable shipping fees and other added fees.

Unfortunately, things like $38 shipping will mean that things like this type of photos will end up in the trash because there will be no market.

But as long as it lasts, will have couple of searches running, for historical research purposes, an if a screen grab goes into my private research file, well.



Cheers Phil

Default I got a bid on it......

Shipping to my UPS address in upper NY is $3.60.

If I get it .... it's yours Gord.......

EPay sucks unless you know some of the loop holes.

..and if I don't..... I think I now have it on my PC.

Hang in there

Just a quick update on my research thus far. I have contacted a few museums with not much luck so far but I did receive a little information from the RAF Museum.

Dear Mr Yeo,
Thank you for your email.
Unfortunately, outside of the entry in the Data Book of RAF Vehicles, we have virtually no information of the CO11DF.
I think the it all hinges on who designed the body, there may be some references amongst the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust records held at Gaydon. I know they have the minutes and some correspondence for Mulliner, these may reveal where the design originated from which will help you track down any plans..
Sorry we could not have been of more help.
Sincerely

Bryan Legate

Default 13" Rims

As most people know the 13" rims and tires for the 8cwt are hard to find. The tires that are available tend to be agricultural tire and not road legal. My issue is the rims on my truck have had the "Farmer" modification where the rims have been cut and butchered into 16" rims.
On previous thread http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...d.php?p=212345 Super Dave mentioned mating the 13" rims with standard 15" trailer rims, so far everything is lining up making a much stronger and safer rim then what I have now.
