  1. Having missed 2022 I'd really like to attend, or at least help out if I can or hitch a ride or spectate, but can't find any details except the Facebook page, and there's no registration link? How do I sign up?
  2. I really meant that body style rather than 488 per se, but might have been better not to confuse things.
  3. Having looked I have around 50 cans, 1940s to 1990s dates but most are 1950s and 1960s. There are a handful of civvy ones but pretty much all of them are military and the earlier ones have the war department stamp and broad arrow as well as makers' name and date. I'd think about selling these as a job lot at the right price if anyone was interested.
  4. Funnily enough I was just looking at this thread as well as I was trying to recall whether there was a specific name or FV number for the older style hook and latch type trailer hitch that came before the NATO hitch. The ones I have are marked FV245820 but I suspect that's only the number for the hook casting / forging itself.
  5. They fit any Lucas 488 type light with the military screw lens adaptor, but whether they will fit a particular vehicle depends on the vehicle as they're quite big lenses - on some vehicles the lights are too close together, or there is some bracket or bodywork in the way, so they will clash.
  6. I may have a spare wheel if you want it. In Dorset.
  7. Two Austin K9s, a very early one and a very late one (not deliberately, just the way it worked out), and a Bedford RL, though they've all been parked up for years rather depressingly. Might be for sale soon. I'll see if I can find some photos. The early K9 is interesting as it has what's basically the civilian Loadstar cab, though with the wheel arch extensions, and lots of detail differences to the later K9s. I think it was only the first few hundred that were like this.
  8. I have a number of jerry cans available, good, bad and downright ugly, 1940s to 1980s date stamps. Message me if interested.
  9. I've got a number of oil cans available. Most are the square one gallon can that fits in the oil can holder on British vehicles, but there are some that are more rectangular and some small ones, look like probably a quart. Various conditions, 1950s and 1960s dates, most in deep bronze green, some in olive drab. Send me a message if interested.
  10. I thought of Rosie, but a quick check shows her last post was seven years ago ...
  11. To be honest I'm guilty as well, as life and struggles have taken me away from things and I haven't been in for a while; but I've posted a couple of things in the last few days I'd have thought would get some response and nothing. I just noticed a post from Ron from August last year, "Far fewer people are responding to my restoration thread in "motorcycles". What with FB ... I fear this is another dying forum." I do worry that Facebook is taking everything over; I've just posted some stuff for sale on another forum with little response, though there is lively trade on the Facebook group. I'm not a FB member, and I don't think it's any substitute for the richness and depth of knowledge and information you get on a forum.
  12. Is it just me, or are things a lot quieter on the forum than they were a few years ago? Has Facebook cannibalised HMVF as well as everything else?
  13. I have a PTO driven chassis mount dynamo, drive shaft and control panel for (I think) a Bedford QL radio / signals van. Not sure if it's working, I bought it at a sale some years ago and never used it. Anyone interested?
  14. Having brain fade. I thought the diff ratio (e.g. 5/37) on a Bedford hypoid axle was marked on the pinion housing or thereabouts but it's been a while, I can't remember and I can't find my Bedford books. Anyone any idea whether I'm remembering right and where it might be if so?
  15. Hi all, Having a bit - well, quite a lot - of a clear out. Will list some bits as I go. First up some Bedford major units: front axle complete with cross tube and drag link, hypoid rear axle with hubs and drums, prop, set of slipper / rubber bush type springs, 220 Turbo engine. These are all off a very low mileage 1984 7.5 tonne gross TK750 (SKFSHL2BCO). Message me if interested
