RP smoker's hatch

[Peter Naulls]

Here's a fairly original looking Ruby, photographed post-war. Ours was /is just the same, with the flange with the screw holes sitting directly onto the fabric panel. These cast metal ones seem to have been fitted to late Rubies, most of the earlier cars I've seen had similar looking versions but made of pressed steel. I guess it depended what was available at the time.
