Looking for a Power input cable, or even just the connecting plug. For a Larkspur R216 Reciever set. Can anyone Help? Or point Me in the right direction? Many Thanks! Regards: Mike.

The Item in the photo is a fake! Everyone knows a 'Digger'. Is an Australian Serviceman!..........😁

Paul, well you know what sheep are like? Alwasy 'Bleating' about something or another! 😁 Look around the site where you found the wheel. There is bound to be another there also. Everyone knows they travel in Pairs!... Wheely, it's true! I found one of Hitler's Gonads on a Training Area in Sennelager in Germany Once. I made it into a conker you know? Youll have to excuse me now, I'm just finishing off an Original Copy of one of Hitler's diaries!....😎

That's amazing! My Dog Talks to Me all the time, about a spectrum of Topics! But I take what he tells Me. With a pinch of salt. As Everyone knows He's a Liar!..... 🤣

😂 Mike.

Thanks, Do you know if it's for the Clansman. Or Bowman system?

That bracket just back from the loop on the front. Has a cross pin, THAT goes through the front mounting Bush on a GPMG (L7A2). The FRONT Loop is for the 7.62mm l4A4 LMG. (The Old converted Bren gun )

As long as they are not down to the brass rivets. You can still get some life out of them! Cant remember how thick a new one is? It was over30 odd years ago now!

I have just acquired this radio accessory. I think it's some kind of filter? Can anyone ID It at all? 4 x pin connection, on clansman type screw collar attachment. The NSN is a little indistinct. due to being felt tip applied. It Reads: 5935-99-131-5413. Serial No: W/1121/17. It also has two applied decals, one stating INF ONLY. And D-Tested Iraq. also a Patent Pending decal. So Im wondering if it was a trials item of radio equipment? Would like to know what it is, as I may have access to a handful more of them.

The 58 Patt sleeping bag was a DRY CLEAN ONLY item! The secret of them staying useful is easy! Prior to climbing in, give them a REALLY good shake up! This distributes the down Feathers about & fluffs them up. Thus ensuring good Thermal heat retention. During the day, open them up & lay out in the fresh Air. Flat on a land rover or truck canvas tilt is best. This gives them a good airing, & reduces any smells. Simple really! 👍

Yes easily. I have done this many times when i was serving as a VM. Before I remustered as an Armourer. The only real common sense thing to do before starting the job. Is ensure the Steering box is cold! & have plenty of locking wire to secure all the bolt heads upon completion! The adjustment of the bands is easy also. To check for CORRECT adjustment. The guide we AWAYS used was: Look at the cut out in the interior tan padding. Where the tiller levers sit in the forward position. unlocked. The tips of your fingers against the hull in this cut out. & pull a tiller back alongside your left hand uppermost. Adjust the squared headed adjuster on the steering box. Until the lever is alongside the base of your thumb. Tighten adjuster locking nuts. When adjustment is correct!

When you say 'Tailgate' on a Command car. Do you mean Boot ( Trunk ) Lid? Hood frame? Would you NOT be able to have the Hood Deployed without one? If the hood was up, would that not mean the Frame was there? Or did you mean PART of the hood frame? Sorry if the questions seem awkward? I'm just trying to clarify things! 👍

Gordon. When you say 'A Good one'. What are the pitfalls of things to look out for. When potentially buying one of these? Mike.

Regarding the dodge command Car. I have Always admired the shape of them. They LOOK to be very comfortable? Can anyone state what they are like to drive? I have fancied getting one for a while now. Are there any drawback ( apart form fuel consumption ) to ownership? I would really like to know! Thanks in advance! Mike.

At the Last Militaria fair. They had a stall, but were Billy No-Mates! No One wanted anything to do with them!......Once trust is lost, you never get it back!..... It would seem that the 'Owner' has a documented history of starting companies. Then closing them down. & opening another under a new Name!.....I wonder why that was?.......😎

A word of advice! If you are using the original carter carb from the Gennie engine. check inside, the rod that moves inside the main jet on a Gennie carb. IS MUCH LONGER than a Standard metering rod! This acts as a Govenor to prevent over revving! I discovered this back in the eighties, when I fitted a NOS Carter from a Gennie engine. To a standard Willys I owned back then. Started & ran fine, Until you jumped in a drive it! You couldn't get above 2nd gear in it! 😄 Back to the garage & exchanged the metering rod with the one from my original carb. & all was well again! 😉

Interesting. Keep at it Buddy, you never know. One day it might yield a result?👍

Adrian, Yes I need an Arrow ( Pheon ) but I'm not paying that Price! 🙄 Just a yank trying his luck! As you know, they should be transfers. Not sticky plastic badges! Regards: Mike 👍

Just ordered the piled arms & patent number decals in white from Ebay. Still looking for the Black Arrow ( Pheon ) Decal now! 👍

Adrian, Note also. The Frame cross tube Reinforcement, ONE has a hole. One does not. Not sure if this is an Air hole used when welding originally to allow air pressure to escape? Or its purpose was for a Mudguard? Perhaps taken from other bicycle parts during construction?

Hi Adrian, Well the Piled arms & The frame downtube Design Patent Transfers. Are they both the same colour? Or mixed Colours? my Serial Number has been supplied on my Reply in my other enquiry request. Happy for you to include it in your register. Cheers! Mike.

Hiya, My Serial No: is: R54799. The Frame locking wingnut is smooth. The BSA Piled arms, & Patent Design Decals / Transfers are available on Ebay. In white, gold & Black. I am looking for a pair of grips myself! Kind regards: Mike.

Many Thanks! 👍

OK, so Regarding the humble BSA para bicycle. I have a couple of questions. 1, The decals on these Bikes. Should they be: A, White. B, Gold. C, All Black? Clarification appreciated. Also, Can a Bike be 'Dated' when Manufactured, via it's Serial Number? Thanks in Advance. Para bike Affectionardo's! 👍 Kind regards: Mike.

Sorry to hear you endured some Damage Buddy. I need a pair myself as the grips fitted,are period rubber ones. But not BSA Marked. I do believe there are repro's available? Mike
