After my friend bought his Ferret There was no power the previous owner had fitted a new carburetor, fuel tank etc so they must have had a problem and could not sort it For example we road ran it up a long road with a small incline it would only drive in 1st gear, the traffic was backed up and I were desperate for a place to turn and finally found one to get back to his home. After the usual points, plugs condenser. I started looking further . I then checked the inlet valve clearances .Some muppet had got them totally wrong raging 0.0015 to 25 oversise and one at ).0001 barley opening. AHA road test . Boy it had some power for a ferret . On my last ferret I came upon the same problem but the clearance was over 0.5 " over adjusted When looking at the rockers under the rocker cover NOTE that they are INLET valves only and need to be correctly adjusted I am sure this often happens on other military vehicles when they are messed about by unskilled people Laurence

full set of tyres now fitted now need to get it running good and road test. regards

thanks for the reply.The main thing is to be compliant with the law as £ 1000 per defective tyre and points on you licence is not worth your collar being felt. regards

Thanks Now to convince him the importance of good tyres Cheers Laurence

I am helping a friend do up a ferret but the tyres are very poor .Are there any firms doing them at present .The size are 900 x16 I believe Thanks Laurence

Its hard for vintage military owner with 60+ year old vehicles but there are tyres out there .Unfortunately the law does not take prisoners. Cracked tyres can be used on prvate land or have the vehicle transported to various sites. I would encourage tyre companies to help us , sometimes they do a run on various redundant tyres.

I was looking at a programe the other week on the police and mot failures . If a tyre is cracked with age , the driver of the vehicle could be fined £2500 and points on their licence per tyre When I have seen the state of some of the vehicle tyres at shows . Tyre Paint will not make it MOT legal . Keep safe replace old tyres

Hi Tommy my email is :- tsltank@gmail.com

I will send details Regards Laurence

Hi Tommy can you confirm the email address as I dont seem to get through Regards Laurence

I will send details Regards Laurence

thanks for that i thought thee would be a lot more than just the lubrication system. I will pass on the info this Saturday.

Thank for the reply Richard . I would think locating the parts would take a bit of effort finding a a sump , remote tank, pipes and pumps will not be easy but the HMVF may have someone that has them.

Hi I wa asked a question from a fellow ferret owner that has a wet sump B60 and want to fit it into a Ferret. Ovisaly the Ferret has a dry sump . Has anyone done the conversion, or anyone got a dry sump and the appropriate bit. I would appreciate your views and response Regards Laurence

Now i have sold all my foxes I have 9 titanium raden shells with dummy heads. If anyone is interested they are for sale at £9 each P+P extra please PM me I also have the shell holder that is on the LHS of the driver that holds the nine shells .

Posted October 6, 2020 I thought I had sold all my Raden shells but on clearing out parts I found another mortar box with a 30mm steel radens If anyone wants to fill there racks A single steel case will be £4 and 10 steel cases go down to £3 , Approx 40- 50 shells Pm me if interested Post and Package is extra depending on weight

I agree with Ammo man put in an isolator on all my military vehicles the batteries drained and was sorted with this mod

The Polecat is now sold with loads of spares

Must admit the picture of the wings would NOT pass the test of a man on a galloping horse passing by it. If its structural proper repairs by welding Thick plate is easier to weld but it must be very clean as alloy does not take prisoners ,Pay out the money and get a good welder

Aluminium is difficult to weld and being thin old plate it is near impossible The best repair is to get alloy plate and rivet it on as it is not a main structure it will pass an MOT. Laurence

Hi Robin. My email is tsltank@gmail.com Word of mouth seems to travel at the same speed as email Thanks Robin several people interested as it was ,but on reflection its worth more in parts and will be broken bit by bit over time I will Probably take the peak engineering turret off in the spring Regards Laurence

There is a high demand for parts so I will break the vehicle for parts. Its no longer for sale as a rolling vehicle

Yes it is road registered & took months to get I have it on HMVF classified, as a rolling exhibit with pictures I t will go on Ebay once they come up with a reduction in final sale fees . It has not yet been advertised but word of mouth travels at the speed of light. Laurence
