When I drove a light truck in Sydney it had a metal bar pivotted on a bracket fixed to the lower edge of the window opening. It was weighted to normally hang vertically but, when about to turn right you grabbed the handle at the top and pulled down thus swinging the lower part of the bar, which had a large metal hand on it, outwards to 90 degrees.
This told everybody what you were about to do but also had the pleasing bonus of almost decapitating any cyclists brave enough to overtake in slow moving traffic.
Spardo If you double click Deanos last thread with the Leyland Buffalo it has the unit your describing mounted on the drivers door.

You’re right, I never noticed that, you must have eyes like a hawk.

I can’t find that “friendly two fingered gesture” on that instruction card DIG, or does that only show on the English one…?
You will have to refer that question to Spardo Patrick as he is the only one I know who is experienced in its use.
Dig
Right, out with the old, in with the new…
Docent look like you will be joining the Australian branch getting another black one and because black shows up the dirt more than any other colour is the ladder part of the cleaning kit. Nice though.

Any idea what date that article is Dean? I have all those pictures and an update of 1988, Ewen Clough, a wiry little bloke, was dead by that time but the wagon he drove was resurrected, restored and moved to a museum in the Alice where I believe it is to this day.

Hello “Spardo” ,the article was in a 1965 magazine and the last bit was also in a 1965 magazine. Looks like it was built in the 1930’s chap.
Nice looking motor, what engine is in it ?
