Hi Guys
Getting ready to start the conversion of a derelict LWB S11 into a tree mans tipper. Been trying to find a cab back but they seem to be as rare as hens teeth.
A mate of mine told me he's seen a rear tub cut slightly oversize, then had the rear edges folded back to make it a nice neat job.
Anyone know where there's any pics of owt similar that i can pass to a tame welder i know, so's he can "fettle" me one.
Thanks
Dave

thanks yella, but WTF's trawsffynnydd. Sounds like its far to the west of here. the last time i was in the land of the dragons i asked a farmer at the side of the road whereabouts the quarry i was looking for was (way, way before shatnavs). His response ?
"English is it ?" "Yes mate", i cheerfully replied
"**** OF THEN" accompanied by two fingers
Oh to be in our one nation, ruled by a benign king
If you remember the blokes name PM it to me please
Thanks

could try asking these people for a catalogue or something and either get them to do it, or just nick their designs!
