DSdriver Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Chatham Historic Dockyard have a collection of no longer active milk floats, not being knowledgeable about such things they all look alike to me, but it might be worth pointing an email or letter in the direction of their "head of vehicle maintenance".

warren t claim Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Surely big expensive to produce bits like screens were bought in from an existing manufacturer and the float was designed around it? You may find that a screen off a Commer van or BMC J4 is the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colnerov Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Hi, Try approaching windscreen manufacturers like Pilkingtons they may well still have the former for it or may be able to tell you if they were fitted to any other applications.

Mrs6C Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Wythall Green Transport Museum has over 30 milk floats of various kinds. They seem a friendly bunch there, so would probably be happy to help out with enquiries if they have a similar vehicle: http://www.wythall.org.uk/ I seem to remember catching an episode of the American series of Wheeler Dealers a few months back where a windscreen for something rare was cut to shape and size from another windscreen from something not so rare, that had the same basic contours. I imagine there are companies in the UK that could do that if a suitable alternative screen were to be found. The university of Manchester has a Crompton E61 milk float... or is that the one you are trying to repair/restore?https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:1eJOfkG2g2UJ:https://www.intelligentcarleasing.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/University-Electric-Vehicle-Research-ICL.xlsx+&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
