That looks very smart, Jordan, and makes a lot more sense for the deployable WIRE-3 Box than the machine screws and related hardware used with the fixed WIRE-5 Box and other other similar vehicles. Having to unfasten all that hardware and keep track of it would have been a crew nightmare when deploying the box otherwise,

C15A Wire-3 restoration
At 3BAM in Montréal we have a similar set-up of the tunnel, but we need to block it when it is cool with rags.
We used Velcro to secure it and it is always broken and we had to repair it many times. Using dot fasteners like you did could permit us to make a door to replace the rags. Thanks for the nice pictures and great ideas. Gilles

Thanks for the feedback.
Gilles, the DOT studs are period ones that accept a machine screw. So I’ve got it setup with machine screws visible on the outside of the cab wall. They thread in via the frames and wall skin. Then the DOzt stud screws onto the screws. Sadly you cannot get this style anymore. They do make a style of stud that has a threaded stud. It wold work, you’d just have nuts on the outside of the truck.

Today I fitted out the rear interior light with a modern LED puck light. It fit perfectly into the wooden housing and gives off a lot of light with a nice period warmth. The best part is that since LED’s run off of DC power I didn’t need the AC converter that it came with. It will also be hooked up t the charging panel and run for the 12v batteries in the back.
The two pictures taken in the back are with the canvas fully down. No flash was used on the camera.

The lighting looks really good, Jordan, and has the extra benefit of a nice low amperage draw on the batteries!

My thoughts exactly David. Originality is great but sometimes there is a place for modern technology. Especially when you cannot tell when installed.
