  2. Does any1 have a wiring diagram for a civi dash 1939 GMC CCKW 352 please? Just taken a look inside mine and its a bit messy! The rest of the wiring diagram for the vehicle would be great aswell. All pictures, scribbles, photos and help on this would be great. Its military converted but civi dash I believe. Cheers Matt hall58@hotmail.co.uk
  3. OK, so followed up the search and this is wat i got. Page 2, Wayne15071965. I have spoken to him and he says to use Cuprinol. http://www.wwiireenacting.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=54443&hilit=colour+canvas+B+Q
  4. If using syntetic paint idea, will it make the canvas a bit stiff and does it crack and peel off? If using fence stuff, will it not stink? Any chance of a link to the thread about the B&Q fence stuff idea please? Cheers
  5. Looks like you have my problem! If using syntetic paint idea, will it make the canvas a bit stiff and does it crack and peel off? Cheers
  6. Has anyone managed to re-dye there canvas? Mine has almost faded to white and I would like to restore it as best as I can to the green. I know theres no waterproofing on it as it leaks like hell when it rained all nite on us inside. I will waterproof it after dying it. Any help here would be good. Cheers Matt

At the mo, the way I hav it I can get dip to work, and when I switch on main both fillements light up and if i go to turn them off whilst in main beam, they wont go off, even on the dash board switch? Where am i goin wrong? Do they earth on the body? Is it earth switched? Can anybody help please please please!!!!

  13. STARTING NEWS! Went up to start it, no luck, put the generator and battery charger/starter on it for half an hour and woohoo (out aloud) it started. Had it running for bout a minute or two then with a big pop/bang (scared the S*%T out of me) and lots of nice creamy oil blowing out the exhaust and filler cap. stopped the engine, assessed the situation (trying to keep that big old fake, 'its ok smile on') to find alot of crank case pressure when I pulled the dip stick out. Waited a minute then started it again to see wat had happened? Lots of blowing/ air/ compression from where the head meets the inlet manifold driver side/ near side. Looks like im busy this weekend stripping down the left bank. All info, support, and tech data like torque settings, messurements, amounts and capacities more than welcome! Oh, and gud will welcome! Cheers Matt
