Tailgate put together over the last couple of days. I first glued and clamped the planks together then assembled the outside frame complete with mortise and tenon joins and then glued and clamped that all together.

Hello Jack,
You may have mentioned it earlier Jack and I have not caught the details. However, could you please identify the trade name and common name for the "timber" you are using on the truck body? Kind Regards Lionel

Tailgate fits very nicely. We need to make another set of hinges as we only had one set.

As mentioned above, (despite Chris amassing 10% of all the Morris Tillys that came to Australia), we only had one set of tailgate hinges from all the remains.
Each hinge is a strange shaped cast piece with a fixed pin which holds the long upright flat piece. It also has slightly raised bumps where the bolt holes are.
