  1. Many thanks for your help chaps. Lex, that bike looks stunning! Richard
  2. I’m rebuilding a Junior De Luxe engine (not XXE) to put in a replica Welbike I’m buying from Welbike UK. I wanted to find about oils, so got in touch with Villiers services whom i bought a load of engine bits from and they said SAE140 in the clutch housing and mineral based two stroke oil at 20:1 in the petrol. the Welbike operators manual states M160, which google says is basically SAE140. I googled the subject and found this thread. There seems to be some difference of opinion here and in other places on the web and 140 is very thick, its what goes in the diff of our Scammell, so thought i’d re-ignite the debate. I also found reference somewhere on line to Welbike’s using straight petrol, but that doesn’t seem right. Thanks. Richard
  3. Thanks for re-igniting my thread Harold. Great to see that you've snapped up the T94, do please start a resto thread on here so we can track progress. @Citroman the ones at Schipol airport were M4s, i remember an article in Wheels and Tracks magazine years ago on them. @KevinT thanks for digging up those records. Good to keep the M6 data bank up to date. I can't fathom why so few of these vehicles exist now, but they do seem to be very rare. Richard
  4. Thank you both for your help. Think I’m going to pass on this one and keep and eye out for a rubery Owen trailer.
  5. I’m interested if anyone can identify this trailer and determine if its wartime. It’s has a data plate but its mostly obscured by one of the body brackets. I was able to decipher “Trailer, 5 Ton” and a chassis number 2021. The windows don’t look wartime and from the inside look like they’ve been cut in at a later date. Can anyone tell me what period its from and what its role was? Thanks. Richard
  6. Have you seen? Some new entries are being accepted onto Operation Market Garden 2024. Get in there! Richard
  7. You are unfortunately well behind schedule on getting in on OMG2024, it is fully booked and has a sizeable reserve list. But there has been a lot of people who successfully enrolled but haven’t been paying the instalments. You could try contacting the organisers at - https://www.ltf-hq.com/ They have a facebook page too called Liberation Task Force. Good luck.
  8. Congratulations on a job very well done. Are you going on OMG 2024? Richard
  9. Morning all, Its been a while since i updated this. There has been lots of work going on in the background, its all the little jobs that take the time. Windscreen is glazed now just waiting final paint before install. I've got various small fittings in manufacture at the moment. Main focus has been the back body, which we fitted at the weekend in its nearly complete state along with the sliding jib section, with help from Matt Slade and his Foden EKA. We'll finish off the rest of the body in-situ. Very pleased with this progress and nearly looking OMG2024 ready . With the body on i trial fitted the rear mudguards and that showed that the mudguard brackets are bent so they've come off for repairs. I'm still in need of a brake pedal return spring if anyone has one going begging?? Richard
  10. Hi. Ive just stumbled upon this thread. Have you got any spare tyres? Thanks in advance. Richard
  11. Me and dad working through some of the last big chunks of blasting yesterday 😀
  12. thanks for the help chaps. Ill post some pics when i get round to it
  13. I'm just wondering how to fill the sides of the frame with sealant. Any sealant i put in there to begin with will be more or less pushed out as the glass is slid in. The frame section at the bottom (or top in this case) will be fine - fill it with sealant and the glass will squidge into it nicely.
