As Richard says its easier on a flat surface. I have removed an engine on my todd and pulled the Ferret forward on my todd as well as I didn't want to move the engine on the lifter as it was up to high and on a rough surface. A van should be able to move a Ferret from underneath the gantry. Or the other way is to grip a tyre low down and move the tyre in the direction you want to go.

True very true they don't let a good story get in the way of writing the article.

Silly question have you thought off making the gantry higher in some way ie blocks of wood

If your desperate you can do without the trolley jobby that runs on the girder. The old man fitted many a commercial boiler by strapping the pulley directly to the girder before Health and Safety came along

It could be a DD tank it looks to have been dragged from somewhere else on the range looking at the road wheels. http://www.jedsite.info/tanks-charlie/charlie/centurion_series/ddrigid/ddrigid.html http://www.jedsite.info/tanks-charlie/charlie/centurion_series/ddfolding/ddfolding.html

Facebook to me anyway seems less substantial and irreverent compared to the main forum which is more formalised and structured. Facebook isn’t structured in that way it provides headline articles in the same way that 24 hour news does with a limited look back facility. The HMVF Facebook site should be different to cater for the people who will not join a structured forum but who would be willing to join a Facebook page where they can jot a few lines down and add a like or two and move on to the next story. My gut feeling is that you should link threads from the forum as it does now and share them into the different groups that exist in Facebook land, in that way more people will be willing to look at and maybe join the forum when they see the articles / threads.

Milky with one and half sugars for me please

You can bet your bottom dollar that they won't be willing to serve time at HMP's pleasure for you.

Not going to disagree on that one but for one caveat wear and tear on your own vehicle is fine but for a vehicle your planning on selling the market wants paint and as the chassis is already painted its going to look downright odd.

If your selling the vehicle by keeping the patina my feeling would be that you would be narrowing your market and possibly lowering your selling price. Its all about the pennies

Thanks Robin I'll get the missus to buy me one of them for xmas (sorry its November and I'm mentioning that dirty word)!

I am gradually collecting bits and pieces for my Sabre restoration and at some point I'll need manuals which ones should I be looking for? Greenmachine has these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CVRT-Technical-handbook-Technical-description-/310761825735?pt=UK_CarParts_Vehicles_Manuals_Litterature_ET&hash=item485ad925c7 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CVRT-Precis-Scorpion-Sultan-Spartan-etc-/251322387350?pt=UK_CarParts_Vehicles_Manuals_Litterature_ET&hash=item3a83fb4b96

It is part of the fun to do it yourself. More than likely you couldn't afford to have it done by someone else and would you want too? If it breaks down and you have rebuilt the vehicle your more likely to know how to repair it.

Fitted out for Clansman the aerial base in the first picture is for Larkspur vehicles.

Hi Nick, Do you have any pictures of the extra radio bits it might help to narrow it down a bit.

Essential viewing when I was a lad still a great series if not the best

Ignore the initial headline the article is about the TV series The World at War http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2476037/How-Nazis-infatuation-blonde-TV-girl-unlocked-Hitlers-secrets-classic-documentary.html

Hi Rafal, Do you know the British Army registration if you do you can then apply to the Tank Museum for the history of the vehicle. For a fee / charge they will supply the history. Welcome to the forum

I have not in person its not my cup of tea I would paint it green

The silver holder below the start ya bastard pic is a splinter screen holder for a Ferret, The horn button is also a light switch and would fit most 1950's AFV's and some soft skin vehicles of the same period. I would have thought that it fits a Saracen as well?

Better to keep it as it is its just different which is a damn good reason to keep it as its FSC great fun welcome in its an exclusive club owning cold war British Armour
