A plea for help: HUP dimensions needed!

[r.morrison]

Well, I finally got a hold of Jonathan this morning Vancouver time via the phone. Really nice fellow to talk to. We were one number out on the phone number, but hey "s..t happens". Sent him ALL the photos I have of the ZL and will send more as soon as I clean out the back!! Hopefully, it's enough to get him started. However, I have to agree with Hanno, that someone close to him, with a HUP, in the UK, would be the ideal answer. At this point, Nick Bullock is the best long distance option.Both of us were quite surprised, there was not more response from other forums. So keep it coming boys.

Spent the weekend cleaning out the shop and getting the 3 tonner ready for the Chinese New Year Parade next Sunday in downtown Vancouver. We take the Canadian Chinese Veterans in our vehicles and in reference to parades.....this is a big one. Vancouver has the second biggest China town next to San Francisco, in North America! And the crowds prove it. Hopefully get some photos on the forum.

And to those freezing their derrierres off in the Northern wilderness of the Ottawa area and the eastern parts of New Hampshire.....tough noogies! Lovely to have heated shop. Condolences Monsiers Carriere and Waterman. Robert

I have made Jonathan's plea more specific by adding "HUP dimensions needed!" to the header.

Maybe that will help, as not all HUP owners read all threads

Of course Hanno you are right, i will be more specific in future. I've now got loads of information and thanks to the brilliant high definition pictures from Phil Waterman, Dimensions from Bruce and the sunny pictures and continuing information from Bob Morrison, I have more than enough to start constructing the rear body. Mean while ive been consentrating on the cab area, it seems to be slow going but iam getting there. The outer windscreen frame had to be re-made, as it had been constructed out of wood and odd bits of steel and consequently lacked all the fittings which i have had to make. I have cut and fitted all the cab floor struts that had been cut out and made some new floor plates. The engine cover required some repairs and I have had to make two new hold down clamps.

Now a question that i cant answer, which isnt suprising. On the front of my chassis there are two mountings, one on either side at the front of the engine, pictured below. They dont look like they have been added ans i assume that they are engine mountings, but if they are then for what engine?

Again thanks for all your help.

Regards,

Jonathan
