Very nice indeed, but you must admit its lost some of its old world charm when you patched the bullet holes in the door! BP

As you can see I have the photo thing solved. Pieter Bergman and many others in Europe have take as bad and better C8a truck to restored condition , so I'm just trying to keep up with the crowd. Marvellous little truck to drive. Gordon |

new work space
Alex
Thank you Alex, the new work shop is so nice to work in, lots of room, good insulation and excellent lighting. The old shop was a bit of a dark hole, poor lighting, poorly insulated and crowded. Gives me some place to play on long winter days, should have done it years ago. As an aside to the HUP, the body number is 935, so an early 1942. Gordon |

Glad to see you are doing well.....
....and up to your excellent restoration standards.
Replacing the clutch disk on the C15a..... a real night mare on a cab 11...... will write up my trials and tribulation inthe hope of saving some ones time in the future. Cheers

How many bolts in dog house of Pattern 11
Hi Bob
Trying to remember how many bolts have to be undone to get the doghouse off on Pattern 11? Think for clutch job is is just both seats, battery box with supports, and the rear of the dog house. Can't remember if you have to pull the side panels as well. Be fun to have a time lapse of the process. Cheers Phil

11&12 cab
Bob
The 11&12 cab trucks are not easy trucks to work on. It requires a special kind of barking mad too want one. Good luck on that one. Gord |

You are close Phil.....
Nice to hear from you......
Had to remove the toolbox from behind the cab...... remove the floor and rear cab wall as one unit and slide it back.......... the rear engine support cross member is in the way so had to take out the shifting fork and the fulcrum pin to be able to shimmy the clutch disk out followed by the clutch pressure plate..... Now to do it all in precise reverse order and try to keep the clutch plate clean...... it is a 3 hand job.... me underneath and Grant working from above and we may have to cut up a centering input shaft shorter to make things easier. Will take pictures and post details on MLU eventually......

Gordon, Carriers are the same. I believe the moment that British influence touched a design of anything, that becomes the status quo.
"British Standard" means: No!, there is not a captive nut in the bottom at the back. There is a series of nuts and split pins, and any doubt about that should just fly away, because you can clearly see that you can't get two fingers in there.

Why move the floor.....
....cause you need to slide the tranny backward to get the input shaft out AND the shifting tower needs to be removed for clearance....... since I had put some ultra violet coloring agent in the tranny to detect leak I did not want to remove the cover and create additional drippings...... tranny was empty but that yellow/lime coloring get into every nook and cranny....... that why I spotted some yellow coloring on the very end of the input splined shaft right into the pilot bearing of the crankshaft....... only way to get there is if the oi llevel is too high and it creeps by the bearing seal and into the input horn....allowing it to drip on the back face of the clutch disk....... the coloring drys to a yellow/lime stain that can be washed with brake cleaner.
....and found some GL 4 "yellow metal" friendly gear oil in 80/90 in Ottawa. Cheers

How Long
Terry
It several years from start to finish. The cab base is from a C60 converted to the HUP configuration. The inner fenders are unique and I had to rebuild them. The floor and rear body are easily formed and welded. The roof section was made in a jig on the shop floor with new omega/hat channel and new roof hatch. Had good rear fenders, running board and gas tank armour plates, made new gas tanks. Had all five doors and re-skinned four of them. |

How about some pictures of that special jig to roll the 90 degree Omega hat shape roof brackets.....? Cheers

Omega bender
Bob
No project proceeds with out the skills of others. Perry Kitson set me up with a shop that could form the omega channel and he machined the dies and built the bending unit. We found that with a little help with the acetylene torch the channel bent very nicely. Gord |
