I'm not sure you'd bother 3d printing, just use the cap as a master and cast it in a resin, should be quite fuel resistant using the right formulation.

This rear timber piece has been added. It was a bit confusing to work out as it was missing on all our wrecks and didnt make sense until Andrew Bloxham sent some clarifying photos from the UK. Thanks Andrew.

Tailgate put together over the last couple of days. I first glued and clamped the planks together then assembled the outside frame complete with mortise and tenon joins and then glued and clamped that all together.

Hello Jack,

You may have mentioned it earlier Jack and I have not caught the details. However, could you please identify the trade name and common name for the "timber" you are using on the truck body?

Kind Regards
Lionel

Tailgate fits very nicely. We need to make another set of hinges as we only had one set.

Hello Jack,

Thank you for the reply and for naming the timber as Mountain Ash.

Is this the Mountain Ash you are referring to Accessed September 19, 2017 from https://www.woodsolutions.com.au/species/ash-mountain

Kind Regards
Lionel
