  9. with regard to the valves , everybody goes for big valves on tuned engines, you can massively increase the efficiency by cutting the valve seat back ,if you leave a narrow seat and machine the edge off , you are increasing the valve size buy the amount that is removed , flow the porting and your gaining power for free i`m pure yorkshire so love things for free jonny loot
  10. been trolling through old files on the laptop and found this from 2010 , this is the bmvt winter rally one of the yorkshire mvt weekends away every year , a mix of convoy and social get together, made better for a little snow .....if you saw our normandy video you`ll know how we roll up north ............enjoy keeping them rolling on and off road jonny loot
  11. thanks for the interest Towbarlover , it still has the hood number on and i know quite a lot of the history , been on the same base from it`s delivery date july 1943, there are two trucks in the states of the same make and type with very close numbers i plan to leave it in the original paint for the time been ,it would be a shame to paint such an original vehicle
  12. looks like artillery to me as it has the wheel lugs to strap the wheels down , i`ve seen jeep wheels of guns with the same lugs
