Default Unique CMP

Anyone have any spare body panels, window frames, front doors, A, B and C pillars for the Pilot model HUP?

Default Hard to find parts for Australian CMPs

Good Holden design window frames are almost nonexistent due to their rust prone design, as are the local Ford roof hatches.

Other hard to find things are as Wayne mentioned good Chev overflow tank, the correct CMP mirrors, usable 10.50-20 tyres of the correct pattern, also Canadian type front fairleads for the arty tractors are rare here.

Default Windscreen Canvas

This was designed to stop reflection primarily in static positions but it also could be used when driving with the windscreen fully open. Aust CMP windscreens had longer arms to allow the screen to be opened up to horizontal, hence the ability to employ the w/screen cover to reduce reflection.

The Cab 13 had two windscreen covers, one for each half, and footman loops on the leading edge of the roof to secure them in position.

Default Surprising...

It's surprising there aren't more photographs of them. From memory I have only ever seen one WW2 photo with them deployed.
