Anyone that served in the Canadian Army UNEF 56th Recce Squadron with the Ferret MK1 please send me a PM (private Message)....I am looking for information as my Ferret served with them in the 1950's & 60's....Thank you.. Joe in the USA

Hello Mick: I am in the USA........Would you please send me a PM (private message) of the quality people that I can order some parts from for my 1954 Ferret MK1 in the UK ? I really appreciate it..Thank you... Joe in the USA...

Just thought I would bring this up again...very interesting thread.......Great job......

Beautiful job...............Thank you very much for sharing the pictures with us....

Welcome to the site Terry.......I am in the USA...My 1954 Canadian Ferret MK1 is very close to Chicago where I have to visit for a few months out of the year....IF ever down my way south west of Chicago let me know..Mine isn't much to look at like most on here but I am proud of finally getting a historic military vehicle in my old years...Wish I had the paper work like you do...Anyway keep up the posts and the pictures and a big welcome again....

That's for sure Richard..You are greatly appreciated.....Joe in the USA

Wonder if a person could remove all 4 tires and let bottom of chassis sit on wood beams as low as possible to allow critical distance from top to ceiling....

Good for you Florida............What a great ending.....Guess that original supervisor never seen a cement truck...Much more intimidating than a Ferret.....

Very nice...Enjoy.............

How is the restoration going ? Joe in the USA

I better clarify as the cork gaskets I used to work on years ago we used the Permatex..It comes in different grades now like for a water pump...I remember the big secret of success in using it was to put it on the cork gasket and let it cure a minimum of 45 minutes before clamping together.....Diana & Jacki are great mechanics IMO and I have never worked on the bevel boxes....I am only going off information that worked for me on other projects....Permatex has been out for about 40 years now....Cork gaskets are old school and maybe Diana & Jackie can add some information as they experiment with better modern age O-rings and such....I certainly highly value their posts and opinions....Hope this helps some one....

Ok......

How about using a gasket sealer.....In the States we use Permatex on most cork gaskets...Hope this helps....

Great idea Robin...The very best to you in your projects....

Very very nice..Continued success to you.....

LOL....Me too.......

Outstanding work..Thank you for sharing the pictures....................

You have to ask yourself what will fit the best where you are..I bought my Ferret MK1 because of my budget but especially the small size of it which I can drive on the side of my house and into my shop in the backyard..... Joe in the USA

Well I said it before and i'll say it again you folks sure have fun with your military items over there...Enjoy.. Joe in USA

Congrats

When you guys do the bevel boxes the manual says the vehicle in level position the suspension units should be in a relaxed sate.......This to me means to jack up the Ferret and let the 4 housings hang loosely not touching the ground,,,Is this what you do or do you just leave tires on ground and not let the suspension system hang freely.
