  1. This is a bit of an old thread but i can add some more,the vehicle shown in last few pics is a 3 ton moblle petrol and lubricants laboratory of the RASC middle east forces it would be in the 47-49 period,i do have some further shots of the vehicle in use if anyone pipes up as interested.
  2. Heres that photo i bought on epay some time ago,i notice Steve your tie down rings appear to be post ww2 M series type,Colin.
  3. Looks cold,nice turn out,thanks for showing the pics.
  4. I bought a tin of Tamiya forest green from the model shop and gave that to my local paint supplier,it was spot on.
  5. No,its easy to see,on the left as you go in,tucked back and covered by a blue tarp,theres a ambulance repair garage diagonally opposite who may know who it belongs too,looks to be in one lump.
  6. Theres a sad explorer/pioneer at the old cement works shoreham,sussex,seen it today 16/1/13.
  7. Looks good so far,my 43 gpw is USMC,heres some pics as found. Jeeps were always olive drab from the factory and could serve in olive drab with original army numbers on hoodand usmc numbers on side / rear, or resprayed in forest green as mine will be,with original usmc numbers.
  8. couldnt find a usn jeep that had sold but theres a cj in raf colours at cheffins for 23rd oct guided at 15-18k and a jeep at classicmobilia.com for 30k.I wish i hadnt got rid of all my rotten jeep bodies i would be welding them to mahindra chassis as fast as the auctions would take em.
  9. Didnt see an original bolt on it,16k wow ,if youve ever been to a top classic car auction you will see bitsa jeeps going for the same money,the worlds gone mad.Who was the expert at the end of the show who said brass extinguisher was rare and a first aid kits worth £500 ?,i think that was vacuum gauge on the engine,what the point of it was and why you would leave it there i dont know,but if a wrong repro rear panel was missed i dont think there was hope for fixing the rest. Nice to see a jeep on tv though.
  10. http://www.surfacezero.com/g503/showfull.php?photo=137537 Heres engine all clean ready to go for a rebore if the pitting will allow it. Need crank regrind and new cam and lifters,not going to be a cheap job but ive got new timing chain,carb,oil pump from other engine and plenty of gaskets in stock.
  11. Has anyone got a dimensioned photo or drawing of a ls166 speaker mounting bracket,its a simple casting i think to take threaded bolt with wing nut.Colin.
  12. I have now got pistons free from bores,one had to be hit from below with softwood,then hardwood,then copper and finally resorting to a 1/2" socket extension to get it to move.All in all not as bad as it could have been,got to take block to the engineers to see if it will take a rebore.
  13. i think this is a mates dad on a raf harley
  14. Heres a parts diagram,its a reliable carb. http://www.gowerlee.dircon.co.uk/PBI-2type.html some parts are on ebay or try speedy spares,jeep parts etc.
