Hi Sorry these have now gone Cheers Richard

Hi This was at Shrivenham some time ago (apologies for the bad photos) , Don't know much about tanks but I think it is a leopard tank. Cheers Richard

Hi Clive That make sense, it would be logical to be struck off census before being sold. The original cost of 13RE80 was £273 and 13 Shillings Cheers Richard

Hi 13RE80 was sold at Ruddington Auctions on 12th June 1961 43YR07 was sold at Ruddington Auctions on 10th November 1960 Hope this helps Cheers Richard

Hi I have a BSA 300w 24v Charger for sale (post war) , £150 collection from Fareham (nr. Portsmouth) I did have it running several years ago, but is sold as seen Message me if interested Cheers Richard

Hi Danny This is what the bearing looks like Length 1.18" (30mm) ID 0.905" (23mm) OD 1.383" (35mm) Cheers Richard

Hi Danny With the clamp bolt slacked off you should be able to rotate the steering cover sleeve without the main shaft turning. With the woodruff key removed you should be able to pull the steering cover sleeve off. I suspect that the top end of your shaft has become rusted and thus is a very tight fit so you could use a soft ended hammer and tap the main shaft whilst holding the outer sleeve (also apply some penetrating oil on the shaft which will also help). I would recommend that you extract and clean and grease the bearing. The outer sleeve is designed to move up and down a bit so that the steering wheel can be snugly fitted. The alternative is that you pull off the rubber yoke (Item 94) which is clamped to the inside of the bulkhead, on mine it was split to aid easy removal (looking at your photo, I think yours is also split), the old gaiter can then be removed, as the diameter of the steering wheel end is greater than the main column use some washing on the new gaiter so the it can be eased over the steering wheel end. Hope this all make sense, next week end when I get access to my spare steering box I will send you some additional photos. Cheers Richard

Hi Been searching through my in-service photos, the best I can come up with is this Jerry can holder ? Also just noticed, the dexion racking is quite different Cheers Richard

Hi - Not to hand, will post one later in the week, but this is the type I have (never seen one with legs on before) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/195905929538 Cheers Richard

Hi - don't know if it was fitted when in service (spent all its service life in Northern Ireland), when I restored it, there were 'witness marks' to show that a bracket had been fitted there at some point. The jerry can holder mounting holes align perfectly with the holes in the 'rear bulkhead' so that is why I fitted one. Cheers Richard

Hi I have one of these in my Rover8... Also can't find the part number in any of mine either, but the clamping bracket that holds the Jerry can in place does have a part number 333464 see https://www.seriesparts.co.uk/PartDetail?stockid=287 I use it for water as I have a slight leak in my radiator Cheers Richard

Thanks It will make a good doorstop Cheers Richard

Hi Danny They supply two types of loom BF23c This is for early MW's with the early instrument panel (i.e. separate oil pressure and ammeter Fig.1) BF14c This is for later MW's (like yours) with the later instrument panel (i.e. combined oil pressure and ammeter in one instrument Fig.2) Trafficators are the same as indicators - best to have this option - you will need to fit an indicator switch and relay The only other mod I would get them to do is to add an additional headlight wire so that the dip/main switch can be used like in modern vehicles (the original dip/main just switched between headlights. This is what the BF14c wiring conforms to What you want is I went through a lot of trouble to get the loom correct and have told Autosparks many times to amend their website but they tale no notice. Feel free to PM me if you want more detailed information Cheers Richard

Andy Thanks for posting this Although I don't own a turreted vehicle, I will pass it on to few people I know who have them. In my view it is a damming report and does highlight safety issues that private owners should be made aware of so that they can take suitable mitigation action. Cheers Richard
