How To: C15a Wire-3 restoration

Here is the NOS buzzer installed on the original wooden block. The special nuts were used as well, after spending a night soaking in Evaporust. The wiring for it I'll be leaving until further information comes to light.

The other day with the help from a friend with is tractor, we flipped over the box so that I could paint the underside. Today with the help of some of the guys from the firehall we flipped the box up on its side onto some dolly's and wheeled it into the shop. Soon it will be on the frame. Then I can install the top bows superstructure.

Todays progress brought to you by the aid of gravity. The box is now back on the frame. Im just doing some prep work on the original wooden runners and then they will be installed.

I also need to source out some new u bolts to secure the box to the frame.

Worked today on installing the top bows superstructure. It was originally meant to be removable in one piece to setup as a cover for a ground station. Up next will be attaching all of the hoops and hangers for the rifle mounts.

Nicely done Jordan

Today I started fitting the wooden boards that attach to the canopy framework. These were supposed to be used for keeping the canopy frames in place whenever the framework was removed from the truck in the ground station role. I still have to drill and screw in a number of footman loops. I believe these were used to strap on the skirt extensions.

Hi Jordan.

Smart idea using the wood stiffeners for the canopy frame. Whenever the canopy went remote from the vehicle, were the open ends of the tubular framework simply plunked down on the ground, or were a set of feet/supports provided to prevent the canopy from sinking into soft ground?
