  1. I have always assumed it was for a water Jerry-can as per the one on the back of a Champ
  2. They were the standard 5 inch rims for Lightweights. Original tyres being 6.50 x 16 - which are almost impossible to find now!
  3. I have seen these modified wheels fitted on MOBAT Recoilless Rifles. Others may be able to confirm if it was a modification specifically for MOBAT.
  4. On a Champ they are wired / labelled GR = Ground (Earth) BK = Brake (Not used originally as no brake lights were fitted) . TL = Tail Lights and SL = Number Plate Light / Convoy Light The Rover 6, 7 , 8 and 9 Handbook also indicates similar wiring I think if you look closely R is actually B also there is a T to the left of L so that terminal is TL so it makes sense
  5. 1952 Sankey Mark 1 trailer 58BL33 - restored to original condition Due to lack of space and use I have decided to sell my Sankey trailer as featured in 'Champ World' August 2022. The following work has been carried out, - Tub, chassis and wheels shot blasted - Floor repaired including new lasing eye 'cups' - Replacement of end panels. 'Cross' strengtheners recreated using home made press tooling - Wiring harness remade as per original. - Floor inside and out seam sealed and painted with stonechip protection - Brush painted with coach enamel in Deep Bronze Green - New Camac 6.00 x16 tyres fitted matching original Goodyear Eagle type - New Canvas from American Canvas (John and Mary Worthing) - Handbrake has been modified (Easily removable mod) to meet legal requirement for break way braking system - 7pin trailer socket hidden underneath to allow modern trailer board to be used when towing behind a vehicle fitted with a Warner cable The following original features are present, - Duckboards - Warner socket - Trumpet rear lights - Correct number plate plinth - Triangular trailer reflector Looking for £850 ono. Located near Wolverhampton email ashmorerj@aol.com or call 01902 844151 Thanks Richard
  6. I didn't spot the 'The Horse' bit but had a recollection that 'Bull's troop was RHA - got to the same place regardless
  7. I had spotted that, see link to 'Bulls Troop' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Parachute_Battery_(Bull's_Troop)_Royal_Horse_Artillery
  8. When Convoy or Side and Convoy are selected there is no feed to the brake or indicators Richard
  9. I believe 19ZR19 was part of a batch of serials allocated to Comets Richard
  10. William, Please see scan of the Rover 8 (Land Rover Series 2A) wiring diagram / key which has the same 6 way switch with ignition key. You should be able to work something out based on that. Richard
  11. In the cold winter of 1947 my dad was a vehicle mechanic in the UK and got fed up of draining the vehicles each night so persuaded the MTO to buy some anti-freeze on petty cash.
  12. I believe it indicates the cooling system is filled with anti-freeze
  13. Ruxy, they do appear difficult to find. Fortunately there is an online copy available, I will just keep looking. Thanks
