Transform something into a DAF

Rebuilding guidelines

In the table found on this page, you find which model is used to created a DAF, that can (or could) not to be bought somewhere at the time I needed it (or the quality of the available model was not good ebough for me). I try to mention the points that has to be altered to created the DAF. (not complete)

LF 55 (16-18t) short cab Albedo Renault Premium Remove the SpaceCab construction. Cut the remaining part in 2 over the front and rear side. Make it smaller (total 24,2mm) Cut the side of the cab 3mm behind the door. Cut the back of the cab loose of the remains of the side. Make angles of 45 degrees, so the back of the cab fits to the sides of it. The roof can be made out of a plastic sheet in combination with a part of the removed SpaceCab. At the front, a new grill is made of a sheet in the right shape. At the front-corners of the cab, wind-deflectors were placed (made of half-circular profile, cut in right shape). The bumper needs a lot of modification, but can be used.

75 stretched cab Wiking Iveco Eurofire At the frontcorners of the cabine make the direction indicators by milling, filing and cutting. Replace the grill by a printed one with 2 stripes. On the sides of the cab add the wings. Some variant are possible:
-wing continues till the end of the cab
-wing decreaces after the frontdoor of the cabine
-wing keeps its original length after the front door (about 4mm) and then stops
The wing is 1mm thick and above the mudguard it is 3,7 mm high + 1mm of the sloping part. The wing runs slightly up over the door and the thickness increases over the door from 0 till 1mm.
make the bumper smooth and form it in the right shape.
