Default Observer hatch cover and handrails galore

Hello friends,

Taking care of odds and ends while vacationing home.

Found a nice canvas observer hatch cover in Victoria BC from undisclosed source... Brought it home after receiving a briefing by friend Harry M. on how to install it. Forgot to take pictures ... and forgot how to install it .


Installed handrails on top of the box. They are lower than originals because i could not back out of the hangar if they were. The door is too low ! Notice also the very low clearance with the ceiling fan !

The handrails closest to the ladder are removeable for the same reason and we can all see it would be a smash if i tried to back up... I need a higher garage door.

Anyway , work is coming along pretty well . Will remove the ceiling next winter to replace the plywood nearest the aluminium sheets under the railings and handrails to improve the anchor of the lagbolts used .

Also in the works for next winter will be finishing connecting the Chorehorse chargers to the batteries . Missing the correct fuses and cut-off and the steel box containing them. Will be asking for measurements soon.

Sweet .

Cheers.

Default Chevy coolant overflow bottle

Friends , tomorrow i am installing the original radiator coolant bottle under the engine cowling. Would anyone have the installation instructions please ? Does the rubber hose go to the top or the bottom of the bottle ? Wich way is up ? What's that other hole with piece of tape over it when its NOS ? Another nice find from an undisclosed source in BC , near Victoria. I have been told that on a 1944 Chevy C-15 A the bottle goes under the cowling on the passenger side instead of on the front of it . The passenger side makes sense since the overflow tube is on that side anyway. Cheers and thanks .

Default No 19 HP set

Hi ,

I had some accumulated leave time so i spent some of it in the CMP shack lately .

I installed the No 19 HP set above the regular set to see if it was a fit.

It's a nice fit as far as i'm concerned . What do you think ?

Here are the pictures .

Now i need to build the metal table and tray that will support the HP components above the regular no 19 set .

Could someone knowledgeable post dimensions of the HP tray and table please ?



Thanks and Happy New Year . All the best .

Looks great. I'd love one day to get your truck, Bruce Parker's HUW and my Wire-3 together for some pictures.


If you need some shock vibration mounts I can set you up. I know a guy.
