    Has anyone visited this museum? It's on the Headland in Old Hartlepool.

    Totally different. Stalwart did not have a reversing transfer box, single reverse was in the main box.

    Main brakes are a fully pumped system. The pedal valve is, as you say, a gate valve. Accumulator air pressure is 600psi, engine stopped and pedal pumped until residual pressure has been dissapated. I have the user handbook and can send you extracts if that would be any use.

    Richard, Oily is right, it is awkward. If you undo the two bottom tank mounting bolts you can get a bit of extra clearance. It also helps to remove the hydraulic tank and pump first. Reg

    Did you have the tooling to check air tightness of the gudgeon pin "pennys?" This is a well known cause of crankcase overpressure on all Detroits and the reason for the change from circlips.

    Thanks for the welcome. Any help, just shout. Saracen belongs to a coastal gun battery museum in Hartlepool, cosmetic had been started when I first got involved, mechanics nearly all done.
