  1. Rupert, Send me a PM on here and we will sort something out. I have a plentiful supply remaining.
  2. Another milestone in the ongoing restoration. First trial fit of the new canvas from RCH Canvas. A few adjustments are needed but nearly there for what is quite a complicated piece of canvas with lots of straps, leather patches and speaking tubes
  3. Thanks - that’s good to know and easily resolved. The glass seemed too loose in the frame without some sort of packing As a matter of interest, are those two-pin sockets just standard pre-war domestic 240v Bakelite items
  4. Been there, done that, but the glass seems quite loose in the outer frame. Did you find any cork gasket or packing?
  5. Is it the Deelen dump in the Netherlands? I think the originals of these photos are in the Dutch national archives
  6. Guy this is what I did with some Perspex within the existing control box shell….
  7. MWs (and MWRs) have a circuit diagram printed onto a thin metal plate riveted on the underside of the bonnet. Over the years this faded to the point where effectively it was a bare sheet of metal with a hint of faint lines representing the circuitry. Tasker and Co have now reproduced these plates. The picture show the new and original wiring diagram plates for my MWR. The blue cast is a protective film to be removed before fitting.
  8. Guy, the MWR has an ammeter adjacent to the control box and within in the circuit for the auxiliary dynamo/control box/charging board. Is there the same in yours?
  9. Got the rear hubs and wheels on today. The wheels are painted in the nearest modern match for SCC1A (VanDyk Brown) as part of the disruptive/countershading Mickey Mouse scheme. It can also be seen on the lid of the footstep generator storage box, as per the factory photos.
  10. Had those transfer sets printed professionally. The transfers that were available at the time were for Mk III British sets that had had the B sets stripped out, so I needed to create the lettering associated with the B set by copying the individual letters from other labels in the set. Then sent them off to Fantasy Printshop
  11. Chris, that’s useful to know, although I seem to recall as that’s how it came to me as I only removed the front plate to replace the clear plastic window with an newly moulded example and then repaint. The end cap was a replacement I acquired for the particular configuration required and I remember painting it in a slightly different grey to reflect a different manufacturer. With that cut out it was possible only to fit it in that one way.
  12. Everything restored, home printed transfers for the variometer and control box lettering. Smash moulded a new window for the variometer as well.
  13. Hello Chris that was the configuration that I used when I restored the WS19/sledge/table at the beginning of this project. It was impossible to slip the metal tab into the slot in the end of the variometer end cap as this had been previously messed about with. From what I recall, the antenna base socket passes through the Tufnol insulator and is secured with a shallow nut Result below, when I tried the A set antenna in the ground role. It seems that the lead to the golf bag antenna in the ground role and to the roof mounted antenna in the vehicle role must also fit into that same base socket.
  14. Presumably gaiters and belt perhaps with the Pouch, MT, effectively a standard pouch with a tab on the back at the top to allow it instead to hang from the webbing belt. Rest probably stashed around the cab.
