    You still interested in my unfinished ferret? Pop over to Monmouth to view. Must shift.

    I have begun a tear down on Mk2/3 but for a number of reasons am thinking of selling as is - any interest?

    Richard Farrant gave superb advice and I ordered from Tracytools yesterday and the tap arrived this morning. Thanks to both. Burred thread now recut and fuel bolt goes through nicely. Thanks to all!

    The manual says "BOLT, FLUID PASSAGE BSP.F. , brass 3/8 in." But this is greek to me . So I do not Know if this will give me the size of tap needed to clean up the threads. Any advice.? I presume BSP.F stands for: Parallel (straight) threads, British Standard Pipe Parallel thread (BSPP; originally also known as[1]British Standard Pipe Fitting thread/BSPF (Wiki).

    Just had a frantic hour getting the broken banjo bolt out of the fuel tank. On examination the threads could do with a recut. Would any of my learned friends know what tap size I need for this or should I just get a steel bolt and use that? If so what size bolt should I seek? Thanks as always for the great advice.

    I will do that on the weekend and report back. Luckily the handbrake and large concrete blocks is holding it in place.

    Just pulled the turret off and am about to steam clean the interior of the vehicle and engine and bay. However when I went to tow it with the tractor I pressed the footbrake and it went straight down to the floor! Handbrake held OK. What has happened to the brakes?? Where should I start looking!

    Where can I source new foam brow pads for the commander pull down seat and the MG mount or is there an alternative supplier?

    A minor modification was the addition of an 'M' Series Throttle cable that activates the fuel pump primer leaver. A bracket was fabricated and bolted to the coil housing - priming made easy! The Jolley Electronic Ignition was also installed.

    Fantastic idea!! Do you have any images or diagrams showing how you did this? I am having problem working out the exact layout/design you used. Thanks

    Now I have removed everything in the fighting compartment I am ready for internal paint. Any idea where I can source the silverish paint and where I can source the external paint for the body and the blue paint for the engine/transmission? Some phillistine seems to have painted the external surfaces with a weird paint which is peeling off showing a dull olive green with black areas. It is a mess, will probably burn it off now all fuel is removed. Thanks.

    Thanks I have now used considerable tension and the tank is now out!! What do people use to recondition these tanks I have read that something called POR15 is good?
  20. Peter Garwood
    Thanks, I now have the fuel tank very loose and have been able to bring it forward by around 4 inches and now it simply will not move any further forward despite clearly being loose. It will move back to original position. I am certain nothing remains attached to the tank. Can anyone advise what may be the problem?? What am I missing here??

    Thanks, I was hoping that would be the case.
  23. Peter Garwood
    Thanks for that correction! Looks like I am going to have to pull the tank as the broken part is just not budging. So turret off... does anyone know what it (the turret) weighs?? Would a farm tractor bucket be able to lift it?
  24. Peter Garwood
    Thank you I will call him. Next job is getting the broken one out!!!

    Help! Where in the world can I get one of these mine has just fractured through the horizontal fuel hole! I cannot find one anywhere but suspect they were made to fit a multitude of military vehicles. I am in UK
