The panel that the switchboard bolts to on the 8cwt CMP is called the radio instrument panel. They also mention the bracket-charging board-2nd type but no picture in the special patterns bodies book. I wonder what the two types were.
I went through all my pictures and found these showing different views of the panel. My box has the holes pictured for the mounting brackets shown. I measured the bolt spacing then did the picture sizing thing and came up with it being 40" x 12.5" and the mounting lug is 25" in from the left of the picture. The left bracket goes on just to the right of the fender ledge.
The brackets bolt to the box then angle back a couple inches before bending straight up again.
I'm not sure how the brackets are made. The part on the box has the flat face facing front and the part on the panel has it facing back. Any ideas?
They made the panel have that space between it and the locker so the canvas cover could go in the gap down to the twist buttons on the box.
