Doing a great job with the renovation of your ferret, please remember to close the front side hatches when climbing out of the drivers area, as you will end up with flat fingers, they close as you press on them ! Prevention is better than a trip to the hospital.

Be lovely to have a look at a pig, mine is awaiting renovation, cant get to it for a couple of land rovers at the mo. im near junc 31 M1. Send me a pm so we can talk, meet. Nigel Peakrec.

Send me a pm with phone no please, im after spares or a full truck to finish off, many thanks Nigel, Peakrec.

Hey

been a long time ...

 

My Humber 1ton Gs is coming along slowly ... still needs a diff cover for the front axle ..

 

My next question is ...has anyone got a decent photo or image of the rear tail gate...reason being the two outer panels have been plated over on mine and i tend to think they should'nt be ...

any assistance with this will be much appreciated

Took these at a show, hope they help. Im after a rear tailgate for a 1 ton.

Sounds good, please remember Cosby is first week in Sept, so a lot of Re enactors and vehicles will be there. Best regards Nigel. (Land Rover 109 1964).

Go to a good leaf spring manufacturer, they will make one to you old shape and know what spec steel to use.

Thank you, I am looking for either a radio body or standard back body for my Humber 1 ton if anyone has one.

Does anyone know where the Humber 1 ton radio body, in sand colours and the diamond t prime mover with trailer went, or who owns them ? I spent many hours looking round and loved the D day photos and models of the floating harbour.

Yes thats me, met at W and P show, was a good show, even with the mud that made things interesting for alot of the viewing public. I will take a look at mine as an early model T. Looking for a tail gate now. All the best with your projects, Nigel.

You may be able to fit a fastener across the bearing retainer to locate in the two recesses, then drill and fit sellock pin into shaft side of centre hole, while using the centre hole to tap out and thread for a suitable set screw, giving two anchor points. All the best Nigel, dt owner.

Yes tell me about it!

What joints do you have Chobham, Tracta or Birfield? But you were lucky to have a replacement.

 

It is extraordinary how inept people can be. You have to wonder is it ignorance or just couldn't care? I remember I had a Hornet that had been towed by the steering rods which bent because they are hollow, rather than used the shackles a few inches away.

Chobham type, went to scrap yard near Long Marsden and bought whole rear axle for £100. Removed it while snowing. Still have it, so heavy, the wheel station is enough weight on its own.

Big job to change long inner half shaft on rear axle, after removing broken shaft couldnt get twisted 2" remains out of diff. so dismantled left hand side, tapped through, phew, then just to put back, 2 month project lol. All because delivery team pulled it up motorway with front axle in 4x4, i thought it was comming on a low loader ! Its a specialised vehicle and needs special attension to details.

Not started engine yet, got water pump in bits, shaft pitted and seals worn, got daves spare to put on, then compressor, connect fuel pipes and give it ago. Cleaning front cross member at mo, got correct one with towing hook. RSJ needs removing. So its progressing, previous owner changed all tyres so have plenty of tread. Winch needs drive fitting too. Cab tired, will need removing and repairing. All the best Nigel.

Thank you, your photos are a gold mine, dave is going to post one in museum, what happened to the wrecker lifting gear and winch, what type was it ? many thanks Nigel. (Peakrec).

Got back body on 980 now, suddenly looks a bigger truck.

This was owned by me in Suffolk was originally equipped as a wrecker. Nice to see it again. Thomas

Hi Thomas, its lovely to get abit of history of my 980, iv got a back body and that is now painted and sat on the truck. Do you have any photos of it when you had it. many thanks Nigel.
