  1. Dorry "Mr Hewes" can you give addy or someother way i cna track him down and chat to him?
  2. That particular cable is an electrical cable that looks like it has been "squashed", I can make and engineer quite a lot of parts but
  3. I have come across a L60 pack that is in a terrible state and will need a shed load of work doing to it, before I go any further I can see a couple of the cables had been mangled and will need replacing, even if everything else can be used so.... Does anyone know where I might find general spares for the Pack.. I have looked at listings on most of the "normal" suppliers... and example of one cable is V605135/3 - I have contacted a cable maker but I have a feeling that as a one - off
  4. Hi Chris, Thanks for getting back to me and thanks for the offer of documentation. I must admit I have a few manuals here already but for some reason I often can't see the wood for the trees. In this case it was SirHC's diagram that showed me what was what, however your last comment made perfect sense as I have had a working Intercom for some while without the need of the rear batteries, but my circuit diagram shows no such power lead for the intercom.

  5. Just to close this thread off. A friend found the light guard at greenmachinesurplus.com (hope i am allowed to mention them) and have purchased said item. Cheers Lance
  6. Thanks for the response Chris, I think SirHC's diagram explains where I need do be looking. It also explains what the RDC box actually does, but I appreciate people who take the time to answer questions.
  7. Brilliant, that explains a lot and I know where to look, I did look there before but I am guessing I didn't check properly. Once again SirHC saves my bacon
  8. As everyone knows I have a Spartan that i have been slowly working through trying to get most systems working, if not as the Army intended then fit for purpose. I have been working in the back getting a working Intercom and nor trying to get a working Radio, hence why I am asking questions about the Radio Distribution Box. Now on the circuit Diagram i have the RDU, Gen Panel, Dist Panel and Relay Box are all just "blank" boxes, they had the inputs ad outputs but not what the levels are, or what the levels might be. However that is not the question, On Socket 3 and 4 of the RDC (24 volt 4 pin socket) that is nothing connected, but in my RDC socket 3 had a 4 pin plug in it, which disappears in to the loom and in towards the front of the Spartan. I have buzzed through all the 4 pin plugs and sockets I can find any yet nothing seems to buzz through the cable that goes in to Socket 3 of the RDC. The only thing left for me to do now is undo the wiring loom and chase the cable to see where it goes, BUT before I do that I thought I would ask on here to see if anyone actually knew where I could find the other end. It's not at the Dist Panel or the Relay Box.
  9. Interesting topic. As a private owner, I haven't driven 1000's of miles. In that time i have had :- an Petrol engine replaced, only had 5 cylinders one had no compression at all, but the engine kept going. Starter motor seize solid due to the wrong type of glue on the bendix (apparently a batch of reconditioned starters all had the same issue) Couple of rubbers off the roadwheels - didn't notice any difference but swapped at my earliest convenience On a first parade discovered a track pin nut had come off - replaced the pin and nuts with a spare I carried there and then All my other issues have been due to my lack of knowledge and corrected after a it was explained to me. I did recover my friend and his Striker after the engine "died". We could restart it but it didn't run for very long. After a few choice words a person who knows what they were talking about was called in and the petrol pump was replaced, The second one in 2 years.
  10. Just to close this off, Andrew's parts were exactly what i wanted and worked to perfection,
  11. I registered my CVRT 5 yeas ago, and got various answers depending on who I talked to. It went from "you cant register that on the road" to "that's unusual I will see if I can help" the second person put me through to the technical department (the guys that write the regulations) and we had a really interesting 2 hour chat. The upshot was, and still is a far as i know, that the "43*" range are over the 2.55m width limit and can not now be registered for the road. So pleading ignorance in this case is your friend. I was also told various other things from other helpful "knowledgeable" people , but my advice is fill as little in as you can, they sent mine back clearly marked what i needed to fill in and with what. And if you don't succeed try again....
  12. Required :- Just the 1, for the interior rear lights of my Spartan. I am sure they are common to a few other vehicles as well as CVRT's, I did get the Roof Light Positioning Ring from a totally different vehicle If you are in doubt the measurements are 3 3/4" outside Diameter 3" inside diameter 1 1/4" high NSN - 6220998814081 ( 6220-99-881-4081 ) Guard Roof Light No. 3 MK 1 FV518760 There must be 100's of these somewhere. I have met several people who say "I used to have a box full of them" the important part is "had". While TheXmod lists them, they are currently out of stock, thank you thexmod for the picture.
  13. I have dragged out exactly what i am looking for anything with a hook at the end so i can restrain BV, Axe etc, SO i do think we are talking the same thing ,
