Richard, originally they were a small brass tube, certainly on the Humber and Morris it is brass, but they were soldered fittings at each end, probably not easy to find these days ........ Jules

I can't see any details on milweb? Jules

That side wheel arch panel looks Tilly ? There are some jeep parts there, prop shaft, shock absorber mount, battery tray. And at least one British Luvax shock absorber. Not. Sure on the engine stuff. Hope this helps, what are you doing with it ? Jules

This is not a standard C8 GS, look at the of centre dash, so must be an Artillery Tractor, with a winch. Jules

It's Mid Brunswick green. Jules

Is that ' New Years resolutions' or should it be ' Don't forget to keep up with those New Years Restorations!' Happy New year to you all, I promise more input on the Morris PU restoration this year! Jules

Martyn, I might be able to help you out with the sub frame, I have one that I am currently using as an engine rebuild stand. I'll take some photos over Christmas. Regards Jules

Martyn The best match for the Morris engine colour is called Brunswick Green, easily available via the net, a lot is sold to stationary engine restorers. CHEERS Jules

First thing I would check is the fuse in the regulator box, you say you can't get to it ? That's your first job, if the fuse wire is ok, pull out the fuse and clean the contacts, had a similar problem with my MW, just needed the contacts cleaned. Regards Jules

You have a real challenge there Martyn Glad to see you have started the strip down, don't forget to take loads of photos as you go. Did you struggle to get the steering wheel off ? Cheers Jules QUOTE=MHillyard;456162]Work has started! Decided to spend a day getting the majority of the cab off before the bad weather sets in, also gives me something to do in the evenings as work on the Gipsy is becoming more light and weather dependent. Surprisingly a lot of the bolts came undone with an oily residue on the thread which is promising. Lots of little parts to store now but at least they wont spoil.

Blimey, thanks would be cheaper to change them to something more standard Cheers Jules

I'm not sure what type of attachment I need for my grease gun to fit this type of nipple used on Morris's ?

Thanks Wattie Yes that's interesting, I also doubt that Ford or Willys made Thier own canvas. But it might be more likely that some 'Tent' maker stencilled Thier name ? Jules

Thanks Robert That helps Cheers Jules

Hi I have seen a few jeeps with the hood canvas stencilled with the canvas makers mark, usually on the inside back panel. Is there any evidence that this is authentic? And what was the usual wording ? Also looking at the shipping stencil, I notice that other US vehicles like dodges, half tracks etc have ' US Shipping port' above the numbers, but not on Jeeps ? Your thoughts please Jules

Nice Tim WOULD LOOK NICE NEXT TO MY WOOD BURNER TOO! Jules

Any pictures? Jules

Fantastic footage, and once opened leads to more great films like the erection of an 11 set, with a very nice Humber 4x2 PU thanks for sharing Goanna jules
