David.

Do you know if Reg's Wireless Truck is the one originally restored by Don Perry?

Robert.

My reference for 'Flimsy' is the standard GSW made 2-Gallon POW can.

When sizing your rack for the Jerry Can, remember a full Jerry Can should just slide in and an empty one be ever so loose. The fit should not be sloppy enough for the can to bang back and forth in the rack.

Also, don't forget you will need the two adapter plates for mounting the two steel tool bins at the front bottom sides of the Wireless Box.

Thank you David , well noted. Again , you are a wealth of knowledge. The adapters for the tool boxes are on the box fortunately . So it will be a bolt on proposition . Any chance you would know were i could find the proberbial wireless table ? I have a spare of anything WS 19 related i could trade . . really anything you could possibly imagine.

Default Had some work done while on leave

Friends,

I worked on the project while i was East for Thanksgiving.

Had some help from a local chap called Dorick. Doric is a master welder and he will be working from now on on all my CMP and Carrier projects.

My friend fabricated the Jerrycan holders and the tool boxes for the Wire 5 box.

The chain holding the tool box lid is my idea and a deviation from original. Makes for a nice work table.

Doric even had some chains to offer. They fit just perfect. Drove 12 Km on the highway to test them.

Default Some primer and some fitting

Of course there is always some fitting involved ,

and then some priming.

David Dunlop, i even have the correct diamond style steel screening for the generator compartment now.. Thanks for the heads up.

When the primer hardens , the correct colour will go on.

Still missing the mudflaps , position and stop lights .

The Wire 5 box had two 5 Gal Jerrycan holders instead of the racks for 2 Gal POW cans found on earlier versions.

My guess is the 1 Gal oil cans go in the tool boxes.


53 is the ID of the Sherbrooke Fusilier Regt.( 27 th armoured ) , 2 Canadian Armoured Brigade, D- Day June 44 till May 45 Holland and Germany.
