To connect up the
electrics, I thought about mounting the new socket behind the registration
plate, but had a quick look to see if it could replace the original
trailer socket. It looked like it would fit, and so the old one was
removed to try it in place. The bracket for the new socket was bent to
support it at the correct height, then drilled and bolted to the floor of
the rear locker. |

Markings and Registration
The first thing to be
painted was the registration. This was done in black and silver to match
the vintage registration on the jeep, but rather than pressed aluminium,
this one is just sprayed through a stencil.
Stars were also added
to the side and rear using thin card stencils and sprayed through. I still
need to add a serial number front and rear and 100th Bomb Group markings.

Here's the jeep and
trailer at the bottom of the street for a quick photo shoot. Since the
trailer has proper indicators fitted, the jeep has also been rewired to
handle 24 volt indicators to match. These replace the LED versions
previously fitted.
The winter side doors
can be seen bulging under the canvas cover, but even with the table,
doors, kitbag, tent, chairs etc, there is still more space available
inside.

The last of the
markings to be added was the data panel. The stencil took a couple of
hours to cut out, for about 30 seconds of painting! |

Lastly, here's the Roset
maker's name embossed on the rear panel and the original data plate,
cleaned up as best as I could manage, as it had been heavily over-painted. |
