  1. Outstanding progress, Jon! As for the tracks, have you tried contacting the Goslings here on the forum? In their WW1 trucks restoration threads (about the Dennis, the Peerless, etc.) they show photos of all kinds of parts, for which they make patterns and then someone casts these. So, they know a foundry, which does take strange requests. Maybe worth asking them for the contact?
  2. Very good observation - and I noticed the same crack to the other hole, too. But these end in a hole, nowhere to continue, it will cut! /as they say in Forged in Fire /
  3. A Russian army car, captured by the Bulgarian army: https://www.lostbulgaria.com/?p=5429
  4. What a great find!!! Please keep us updated about it!
  5. Not long ago I showed a couple of photos of this Km-meter, but finally I got it. So, a few better photos now, including the back side:
  6. Thanks for your response, Al. Unfortunately all I have are those two photos, so no idea about the details
  7. Any ideas about that one? Does A.B.C. refer to ABC Motors Limited (All British Company) of Hersham, Surrey? By the way it looks, must be WW1 or older? And from what vehicle, a car or truck? Thanks!
  8. I've seen these oil channels and turned holes in 30s Mercedes engines. Seems it's a common feature. There is an old trick to reuse slightly worn bushings - press them out, tinplate with babbitt alloy the outside, then press them back in place. In the process some of the babbitt is removed by the conrod, but enough remains to tighten the bushing so much, that the pin would not fit in it. So, after reaming to size, it is as good as new. I guess new new is the best :), but material was scarce at some times, so such tricks were used. Have tried it myself and really works.
  9. It is Greek. I think I managed to read the first word, the next one is not well seen. It's Greek letters, which can be translated to E.S. Ypiresia. The E.S. means Elinikos Stratos /Greek Army/ and Ypiresia - Service
  10. A busy Bulgarian repair shop. The whole photo, plus some interesting parts magnified: /well, the main photo appeared at the bottom/
  11. Interesting video, indeed! I hope this time it will work:
  12. Probably the wife insists to be sold and the husband cooperates, but makes sure it won;t be bought
  13. Yes, definitely Bulgaria As for the Purrey, i think the difference is in the System word - it is not a Purrey, but a vehicle made in the Purrey system, the Purrey configuration of the body.
  14. the radiator resembles NAG. An extraordinary vehicle!
