Robert.
What is the strap assembly with the two brackets fitted, running above the window? David |

David,
The metal strap held a canvas sheet to the cab and the two brackets accepted the ends of straps that held the canvas roll up.

David,
Aussie cabs had canvas rear curtains fixed across the top edge instead of the steel steel sliding 'window' as in the Canadian cabs. I thought Chev had the canvas on the outside, and Fords on the inside - it always seemed odd to me to put the canvas on the inside: guaranteed to let the water in, whereas mounted to the outside it kept some water out.

The blitz finally has it's own shed bay.
I am thinking of naming the blitz EDITH after Uncle Ron's mother.

She certainly looks happy, in her new lounge room.

"EDITH" is a good name for a Blitz. Not too long and unusual enough these days to encourage questions as to why she is named so.
Many many early Rolls-Royces have names like 'Emily', 'Charlotte', etc. Ours is "Elizabeth Balfour" after my mother, a member of the Rolls Royce Owners Club for many years and by whose legacy, I was able to afford the purchase. This is "Elizabeth Balfour" my 1924 20hp. AWM52 1st Armoured BCOF 002.JPG How is the house progressing? Regards Rick.
