I hate to tell you, but the silencer's not right

Be ok if OP avoids wearing an Airstream helmet.

What about the front sidelight/indicator on the mudguard?

Not picking holes, just i never noticed them like that before.

That's a correct fitment for that cab.

 

[essexpete]

How did anyone come up with that design of cab? Perhaps it was a DB committee.

 

[Exfarmer]

Even as a DB fan , I cannot say It was the best design, in fact it was an abomination, tight cramped hot, near impossible to get in or out

Lack of investment, some of the parts were a carry-over from the previous non Q cab.

So true, and that is the later cab, the very first Q cabs had an even narrower door than that.

And that's what I was meaning about the silencer, on a Q cab it should be slightly taller than the cab roof, otherwise the noise hits the front of the metal roof and resonates inside(or so the designers said).

Looks good @MaisiesDad - I see the grill is removed ready to be jump started

I was thinking in the same terms as @Netherfield / @Exfarmer / @essexpete earlier today as I was getting in and out of my little 885 (with the earlier cab design) and constantly getting my foot stuck between the seat and the gear levers... I still like it though.

It is a fact that , big people and puritans should not buy a DB with a cab. Although Puritans can always take the hat off no offence intended

 

[New Puritan]

I'm not really a puritan - that's a joke at my own expense - but I'm perhaps too big for the 885 at 6'3".

I've wondered about taking the cab off altogether but then also wondered if I'd regret it.

 

[REStracTORATION]

I'm not a fan of db but I do appreciate a very clean straight original tractor.
That is a very straight old lass

Is your 885 a Q cab, think it would not be that easy to remove, standard cab is simple

 

[livestock 1]

I used to look at those cabs a think they must know something I don’t
Maybe they didn’t

I think you should sell it to me and save the negative comments.
