AGROWING demand for glassfibre cabs and wings is reported by Scammeil Lorries, Ltd., these now being fitted to the standard ranges of Highwayman and Handyman tractive units. The cabs for these models are produced as one-piece mouldings, with exterior grab handles, tapping plates for door hinges, wiring conduits and mounting members all moulded into the shell The cabs can be supplied already pigmented with any colour, and this acts as a permanent bUilt-in undercoat. Although pigmentation is not normally supplied as a final finish, wings are always pigmented black, with a resulting highquality finish. For interiors, an inside shell can be fitted to give a smooth finish of a different colour from the exterior. The space between these twb shells can be filled with expanded-foam insulation. If damage should occur—and the makers claim that the cabs are undamaged by normal wear and tear—such damage is usually restricted to the point of impact without distorting the rest of the cab and can invariably be repaired quickly and cheaply.
