mcspool Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Thanks Hanno,are you still looking for the correct hubs for the 17 pdr ?[/qUOTE] Hi Rob, Yes, still looking. Do you have any leads? Regards, Hanno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajmac Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 A Great job Rob! What do the '25 Pdr Boxes' (for the sake of the correct term) look like which I presume slot into the Limber and how many rounds are stored per slot? It is heart warming to see a completed restoration as it gives me hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is heart warming to see a completed restoration as it gives me hope Thanks Alastair. I know when you are working through a long term restoration that it seems to go on for what feels like forever but its all about preperation and if a jobs to do its worth doing right if you cut corners you will end up regreting it later ! The limber carries 16 trays each carrying two rounds ,32 rounds in total. Pics attached Rob.......................rnixartillery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broccoli Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Hi. Could anyone please tell me the dimension (metric ) of the limber? And how much is a weight of a limber with trays and no ammunition? An a weight of the base gun circle? Thank you! Frankie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catch 22 LBDR Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Nice, lots of work there. Happy to do it for you, but you would have to get it to me. I am selling my Morris Quad if you need something to tow it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rnixartillery Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 I along with a few others on this forum had many dealings with Rod who passed away quite suddenly ,in my case in the way of trading parts and collectables. Its hard to imagine but most of the no27 limbers that are listed in the auction were all dug up several years ago from an old swamp ,amazing how preserved they were after a pressure wash ! Morris C8 ,I can tell you one thing for sure ,you have a great deal of work ahead of you with that limber !

Rob......................rnixartillery I was thinking it might be to much for me as well, but at least i saved it , so i think i will sell it to someone who can take over doing it up. for what i paid for it.
