Nothing to report. As has been mentioned, I really need access to a Deuce and preferably my own mock-up to test fit and refine the design on. It would be an endless series of blind tries, making tweaks and mailing it off for a stranger to fit. Can't imagine finding success. I'm busy now w...

Thanks Matt, hmmm not sure how I managed 25” but I’ll have to figure it out so it doesn’t happen again. Mill cut the new pattern and have another go this week. Bulldogger

That applies to anyone with an M35A2 for that matter: "would you be able to run a string around your inner channel and measure it? According to calculations vs GT's diameter, you should get just over 21" (according to my calculations)." BDGR

I'm restarting my effort on this. I've reviewed my calculations and they seem accurate, with some fudge factor to allow for the lip/channel of the boot mounting points. The outer (larger) radius/circumference seem OK, since Matt says that side fits (a need for a better lip notwithstanding, I...

Thanks for the update Matt. I've been busy w/ school but ti is beginning to slack up. I should have more time in two weeks. I will contact you then for some more details, there's not enough to go on to a second pattern (as GTaube points out). A fitting fixture would be optimal, but it's not...

I’ve asked deadpilot if he can send them you Matt. Bulldogger

Fellows, our two brothers interested in checking the fitment and performance of the prototypes are not able to fit them due to unexpected issues. Is there anyone else able to test fit them for a courtesy set (i.e. free)? I'll arrange for them to be sent you. Bulldogger

Russ, I apologize that I missed your note, as the page count for this thread jumped and I kept going. I have a volunteer, and the boots are on the way to him. I don't know about your fitment question, I've never worked on an M925 (or any other 6x6 for that matter). Dimensions for the M35 are...

Thanks all. Dead pilot volunteered by PM and a set of boots is on its way. Davidb56, the fabric is claimed waterproof by the manufacturer. The zipper would be less so. I imagine they will do fine driving through puddles, but I imagine sitting in standing water would likely let some in to...

Bump, still need volunteer BDGR

Thanks to all for the encouragement. Still looking for a beta tester per post #20. BDGR

This current design I can make and sell for $40 a pair, which is competitive with other sources, except we hope mine last longer! BDGR

Well, the zippers came in and I had a few moments free this morning. First is a photo of the diagrams and planning. I used the diameters supplied to come up with conical measurements to join the two circles (axle and hub) with a 6.5” gap between for the 8” #10 brass zipper. I added 1/4”-1/2”...

The heavy brass zippers are on their way. I’ll push out a few sets quick for beta testers best I can. Seems you were right Rustystud Bulldogger

I guess I better get going, seeing the interest. I began my next MBA class today, so my time is constrained, and I'm building soft slant backs again, and last but not least, prepping for an October wedding (my first, and hopefully last). Just to put my timeline in perspective. But we need the...

I can work with that! Looks great. Many thanks gringeltaube. It will probably be Sunday before I can try again, but I'll see about refining my pattern. I also have a heavy-duty rollover foot now to sew a nice thick seam on the outside edges of the fabric. I believe I will go ahead and buy a...
