Finished off the two fender stowage bins. I needed to add some lock hasps. Found the exact size needed in a pile of stuff my father in law had given me. Canadian made too. Lastly the pickaxe head bracket was sandblasted. Same part as found on the Universal Carriers.

More parts getting fabricated. Thankfully a few of the tool holding brackets are the same as Universal Carrier parts.

Finished up the sand channel mounts. The threaded portion was made from turning down 1” diameter rod to 7/8”. Then the inside was bored out and threaded to 5/8” NC. The base was 1/4” plate 3” wide. Thankfully 3” square tube with 1/4” wall thickness is available. It saved some time cutting these out with a Zip disk compared to trying to get consistent bends 1/4” plate. These will eventually get welded to the hull. The originals were all cut off.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything about this restoration simply because everything has stood still since mid May. Don’t worry nothing negative has occurred, in fact it’s due to some great news I’ll hopefully post about in the near future that has kept me extremely busy.
Anyway onto an Otter post. I love being able to match up original pictures to where they were taken. These two pictures were recently shared in a FB group showing an Otter LRC driving along a road. The only caption information was that they were taken in Hastings, England in 1942. Thanks to google street view and about 45min of time I found the exact spot. I was able to match up the roof lines after checking street by street. The pictures were taken from the front door of 315 Harold Road. Amazingly even the black pipe railing visible in the first wartime picture is still present today. Even the neighbors house still has the same stone caps on their brick garden wall. Across the street the one building has received a covering of stucco and new windows. But otherwise the buildings are unchanged.
