Rear & front body hinge detail

Does anyone have photos or drawings detailing the front & rear body/clip pivots? These allow the sections to be easily removed utilising 'Keeper plates' rotating about 'cotton reel' pivots.

I designed my own version based on the standard GTD 'body bar dimensions', but would like to see what the real ones looked like.

Regards, Paul.

Paul I would love to see how you did your GTD. Could you post pictures? If you can't post them then could you e-mail them to me?
Thanks, Howard Jones

I'll E-mail you some photos & drgs Howard.

It may be woth your while contacting Frank Catt @ Wealden Engineering. He has modified several cars using his own design which looks very correct.

regards, Paul.
