Checked all the paint ref charts and descriptions I know of, and searched Millers books and his posts, but it's hard to determine OD from Black on a B+W photo!
Did it leave the factory black or OD gr ... |

Ah, Horse didn't see that your were a Yorkshireman! My USA based sources are maybe not of a lot of use. I would probably pay the additional freight to get NOS parts into the UK, as there is so much ... |

I thought that was Jane M. (what were my first two clues?)!
Better Jane than the CO's wife, which would certainly "cage" the eyeballs. The guy sitting on the rear fender-well, better have lived in ... |

If you go to the effort of rebuilding it, determine which gears you may need to replace, and start looking for NOS parts on Flea Bay and other sources. The older USA manufactured parts are better met ... |

On my 1951 M38 I have the little "drain shoot" in the rear of the tool box, as shown in Ron's photo, which somewhat misaligns with the hole in the rear floor riser to create a little pocket where wate ... |

I bought two shovels to get a fit.... The first from K-W. I think it is an ADA-OMIX unit. An almost straight "neck" and not even a close fit. A real POS. It was painted an incorrect shade of gree ... |

Just to be clear Wes, the pro did install it with the lock strip aft, as instructed by me.
And after reflection, he reckoned "lock strip aft" was correct for the reason mentioned.
Best, Jeff |
