The cad file would be a boon, but sadly I wouldn't know how to go about such technology.

Hi all.
I had these bottom side window frames fashioned from a local fab shop they're an excellent copy considering what I gave him as a template. Pics include old and new. They're made in two pieces either side and will be plug welded together. ( same as original I think).

Re: thwaites 4x4 aligator dumper

Hi all.
I converted a Petters PH2 to electric start, I used a a donor engine for parts as mine did not have the starter ring Fly wheel. I posted the conversion on here. I think it comes under dumper TLC or Wingate 4s dumper. I had to fashion the tin work as there wasn't any made for that model.
