    Interesting statistics.

    I think Withams have a few in Lincolnshire

    I would think an addition of this sort would be of help to any vehicle with vacuum brakes and relying on butterfly and manifold to supply its power. Anyone with wipers going uphill? I remember the addition of a vacuum tank had to have the addition of a gauge on a J type Bedford.

    I think because so many of this type of truck were produced, quantity large item component supply would be a problem. Production of the same model of truck could have either the Chevrolet banjo axles or the Timken split type axle.

    There are some emotional stories attached to this thread.

    I think one anomaly in tyre sizes is British tyre manufactures stated imperial sizes but they were in fact metric. US and Canadian manufactures produced tyres that were marked and were and are imperial sizes. Markings after the tyre size are usually load and speed ratings. I think the ten year rule applies to all steer tyres.

    I saw one for sale the other day, I think some were made by Roadless.

    It would only be supposition based on the fact of being parked next to a pillbox and the dress of the man striding towards it being Army.

    Looks like a well used Ford WOT2E.

    It did not have to be a Military truck, there are instances of dump trucks, bulldozers, telehandlers, and HGV vehicles being used as weapons along with other types of civy vehicles. It is the person given the wrong circumstances and access to a vehicle it is the same with guns and knives.

    I have come up empty so far. I have been through about 200 different straps in bags. That buckle seems familiar though.

    I think the linings are quite common but the mounting shoes must be specific to a vehicle.

    I have a feeling I may have one in a box of bits, I will have a look.

    Gosh they were quick replies. Was the Saxon built on TM running gear?

    I have a few of these brake shoes fitted with Don 7115 TSK 62802 brake linings. I do not know for sure what they fit. 9GWR 2530-99-930-5573.

    One type is a fully oscillating 5th wheel and the one with only longitudinal movement is a standard 5th wheel.

    Just use a helicoil to fix that.

    A little more information. 1959 Bedford J5S03 08103. Chassis number 186A-1. It is on six stud hubs.

    I just cannot remember for sure, I will see if I can find it again.

    I think I remember a discussion about 4x4 Bedford J types, but I cannot find the thread. There is a Bedford J5 4x4 for sale at the moment in Esher. There is a plate stating the conversion was undertaken by All Wheel Drive of Camberley. As far as I can make out from the photo's the front axle differential is on the left sitting in the drivers seat and appears to be a split axle. At the rear the diff is about on the centre line, again a split axle.

    There was a thread on this forum about a Dorchester being restored.

    Coming along really well, don't forget the brews.

    Crossley

    john1950 posted a topic in MV Chatter

    There was a picture on Facebook, of I think a rare Crossley IGL8 6x4 number L3925681 with a Coles crane powered by a Ford 10hp engine. I think the main engine was a runner as well. I think it was on the Continent in a private collection, seems to be Austria. A similar set up was fitted to a Leyland Retriever. Do any survive in the U.K.

    I do not know what these two turntables are for, I have not taken them out of their protective covers.
