Info needed: C15A 2B1 cargo bed rebuild

Thanks Bob, I'll get some close up pictures next time I'm over the yard.

We made the hoops in three parts, i.e. ridge pole and two uprights as I couldn't transport them and the platers tanks weren't big enough one one piece.

It worked out very well having the threes sections, sleeved with a hole for a clevice pin (and "R" pin, I know not period correct) to connect the holes and the horizontal roof bars.

If anything going to rub on the canvas it'll be the ends of the horizontal bars, I may change them to hang under the hoops but for the moment it was easier for them to sit on top and drop the clevice pin in.

Here's a question what colour zinc plating should I opt for, coloured gold or clear silver?

Regards,


Paul
