Cliff I suspect it was possibly for a fire extinguisher bracket like this one:

Default Fire extinguisher

Just want to know whether the fire extinguisher bracket shown was a war time fit or post war.

I am trying to get the vehicle as close to representing a war time vehicle as possible. Any other suggestions on what I need to add to the vehicle.

Tim

Yes it is a WW2 fit. Below is a pic of a C60L Machinery truck taken at Monegeeta around 1943.

Yes, Robert - you must have been doing spy missions... that one was taken in Winter - looks like it's come out from the deep freeze...

Kieth, that particular vehicle is now well under restoration, has been sandblasted and painted, just needs reassembling.

Default "I" before "E"

Hey Robert...

What was it about the old rule "i" before "e" except after "k"???

Keith

I'll have to call in to see Ashley next time I'm in Yass. Do you need to make an appointment now?
