You only need the mounting ring for the S6, the S10 has a mount built into the face piece, I'm not aware of how and if they fit to the newer GSR.

Measuring Scorpion track tension circa 1980. Put fist vertically between top of centre road wheel and track, approximately 4". If the gap is bigger: increased wear on suspension. If gap is less, track slap and damage to the hull.
If the track cannot be tensioned any tighter and create a 4" gap, remove a link.
If there are fewer than 76 links, the track is overstretched, and a spot of track bashing with new track is in order.
very true mate, there is a gauge that is part of the CES, but the way above stated by Neil is correct.

Good evening, does anyone have a source for the rubber press in studs that retain the liners in a MK 6 helmet, I want to take mine out as it got damp and mouldy over the winter then clean/renew parts, then refit, they studs need to be removed by cutting them, then new ones fitted.

just as an update, Eden Camp in North Yorkshire, has three of the CVRTs from Op Corporate, 1 a Scorpion and 2 x Scimitar, they have either undergone or undergoing full running restoration.

Good morning, Recently been contacted by a chap in Australia who is currently getting a fox back on the road and ids requiring some replacement parts for the hubs of his ox, as they are currently seized, below is the main concern
Given the scarcity of fox parts, I’m looking to locally remanufacture a sun gear and the planet gears however I’m having a little bit of trouble removing the carrier from the hub cap. It may be quite straight forward, but I don’t want to break something by being a bloody gorilla. Thanks in advance. Tom.

definately not CVRT crew helmets, I have the 3 different types worn, and none are similar to these.

Hi Barry, I’m intrigued that the fox you are involved with has a ferret box. Obviously the overall configuration between the ferret and fox gearbox/transfer box combination is different with shared fluid, a cooler etc, the transfer appear different, but on the gearbox side of things, in your observations, are there major differences? Ie, are the gearbox running gears themselves different? Online for sale it is not uncommon to see items such as brake bands and running gears advertised as Fox/ferret comparable. The reason I ask is that I have a the original fox box, but the gearbox end is rather poor due to being abused, taken apart and left open. I have a ferret and am fortunate to have a spare gearbox. I was considering using it to try to get the original fox gearbox / transfer box up and running. FYI, I don’t have my fox spare parts book yet so can’t put it side by side with the ferret book! Many thanks, Tom
The running of the vehicle seems normal compared to service Foxes, there are a couple of differences, the mountings are of the ferret type and not the fox type and the gbox and transfer boxes have their own dipsicks and fillers, which on service fox were combined. There is quite a few ferret parts on this Fox, esp in the area of suspension, most of it is taken directly from the MK5. there is no power steering and the components are again Ferret inc the steering wheel.

I'm very interested in this thread re modified carbs, I help to care for prototype Fox KFX 262F/00SP87, which to my knowledge has a modified civilian XK engine and I know has a Ferret gbox, very interested in being able to see if the carb has the mods fitted.

was this project ever completed.

It appears that sometime in the last twelve days somebody broke into one of HDF(V) stores in South Yorkshire and helped themselves to a number of Scorpion/Saladin items. These include barrel gauges, pullback kits and a quantity of spare weapons parts, could you please let me know if you are offered any parts etc from an unusual source.

To follow on from Alien FTM's reply, we served in the same regiment, I wore my belstaff high leg bike boots on exercise, and I remember there was a liking for the german para boots of the time.
