    Thanks Richard!

    I've found a Lake & Elliott "Millennium" 4 ton jack amongst my bits and pieces which I believe to be the correct jack for my Abbot so I'd like to restore it. At the moment the top screw is seized solid and pumping the handle achieves nothing. Does anyone have experience of rebuilding these and/or know where I may be able to obtain new seals etc? Andy

    Do you have any photos? It would also be helpful to know whereabouts you are (fill in the location field in your profile!) 🙂 Andy

    Registration for vehicles closed on the 30th. 😞 Andy

    Brake cleaner usually works well on the filter, but gently scrape off any excess gunge first. Andy

    It might be worth noting that he last visited this site in 2012 .... Andy

    Good to know it's all fixed! Andy

    Some useful information here, perhaps? https://armyradio.com/Clansman-UK-RT-344-PRC-344-UHF-AM-Ground-To-Air-Man-Pack-Transceiver.html Andy

    In the absence of any further information I'm at a loss to understand how "incorrect batteries" could cause the stated problems? Andy

    Thanks all - I've solved the immediate issue now but I'd like to have a reliable source for the future. Andy

    I have, as I said above, but I'd appreciate knowing a supplier who has decent ones in the first place! Andy
  12. andym
    Correct and I didn't send a new photo last time (I'm 66) as the renewal form didn't ask for it. Andy

    When reassembling the brake pipe banjos on my Stolly, I came across an issue where the modern copper washers that you buy in assorted kits are not only thinner than the originals but also harder so don't squash properly. At Barry Ring's suggestion I annealed and reused the old ones, but can anyone suggest a supplier of decent quality new ones? Andy

    My version is: "If you see it but you don't need it now, buy it anyway. If you see it and only need one, buy two or three". 🙂 Andy

    I looked at getting some IWM Abbot films digitised, but not only are they expensive, they also come with very restrictive distribution permissions. Andy

    How much air pressure have you got in the Abbot's equilibrator? Andy

    I retain my C1/HGV3 with a (now) annual medical from, funnily enough, D4Drivers. Definitely recommended - fast, efficient and cost-effective. Andy

    It probably depends on how loud you need it to be. Try it direct on the radio, if that's not loud enough then put an amplifier in the middle. Andy

    Those pins look very FV430 to me rather than CVRT? Andy
  20. andym
    FV430, methinks. Andy

    As the removal of asbestos was one of the drivers behind the Bulldog conversions I would be very surprised if any non-Bulldog FV430s have had asbestos removed. Andy
  22. andym
    Not as such, Robin, but I'll grab ones relevant to my vehicles and occasionally other ones that interest me. Andy
  23. andym
    They come up on eBay occasionally. Andy

    I'm almost certain that the shielding contains asbestos, the brake bands in the steering box certainly do. Andy

    Thanks Clive, I wondered about the "Roger" reference. I'll look out my collection when I next have a chance, I think I have several you haven't listed. Andy
