  1. Hi Skip, i was the former owner of 06CC12. Pm me your email and would be glad to share any info I have. i did confirm directly with QRIH that 06cc12 served with them in Borneo. There are several photos from that tour that were published in the QRIH regimental magazine which I think I have a copy of somewhere. I also corresponded with one of the drivers from the same squadron. cheers, Andrew
  2. I have a spare solex 40 nnip carb. I am in the USA so postage may be pricey. It needs rebuilt but body is fine. Was removed from a Ferret. let me know if u need. Cheers, andrew
  3. If you keep the original Ferret ignition coil then yes with the electronic ignition the coil would need the original ballast resistors in circuit so the coil runs on 12v. However if you use a new matched coil from Frank Jolley you need to bypass the original ballast resistors and u use a small resistor Frank includes with the coil. Cheers, Andrew
  4. I ran the same fuel test and that is about the amount of fuel I got on mine so looks ok to me. I would replace all spark plug wires and the ignition oil wire and definitely would replace the condenser. You need to get a brand new condenser and adapt the mount to fit. The Nos b60 condensers can go bad on the shelf. Cheers, Andrew
  5. Rustoleum matte nickel paint matches the colour well. Not fireproof though.
  6. Yes, the airfix SLR. Wish I still had it!
  7. I was lucky to have a Johnny 7 as well as the black plastic FN FAL (SLR ). Great toys as a kid!
  8. Could this be specs to build boxes to transport clover as a food supply for cattle for the Army Service Corps (ASC)? Cheers, Andrew

  10. Did you try Tim Vibert? I think I saw some on his site a while back. Would be worth emailing him.
  11. I have used Tony' s sticky backed stencils for small letter stuff . I found if I tried to paint in 1 go it would seep under the edges . Spraying a few very light coats and allowing a few minutes to dry in between worked great.
  12. Having looked into all this I have decided to use a switch disconnect on the neg ground battery & mount it on the battery box. To do this I am changing out my battery cables & using ring connectors on the new cables to make the connections easy.( also cables are old & could use replacing.) 2 questions: 1. What gauge wire do you guys use in a ferret? Looks to me like 2 ga or maybe 1/0. 2.The positive cable hooks onto the inter vehicle connector box area with what looks like a proprietary connection. I don't want to break it investigating how it connects. Can anyone tell me how it comes apart & what the connection looks like? Also does anyone sell connectors to replace? Thanks,Andrew
  13. Sounds like a good idea. To get my ground wire to connect to the switch I need a ring terminal. With that in mind it might be worth just replacing the ground cable with a new one ( maybe also replace the other cables too.) couple of related questions:Where does the ground cable attach to the hull? Is it easy to get to to remove?What guage cable is best maybe 2/0 or is that too thick?Where does the cable from the drivers left battery positive terminal attach? Would this be easy to replace?I did find a similar switch that does not look like drilling is needed:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0017101BE/ref=cm_cr_asin_lnk
  14. Quick question. How do you connect from the battery cable to the post on the switch. Mine is quite thick cable & looks like it would be hard connect to a ring type connection.
