For your information : I'm selling reproduction B-set rods for your 19-set. ANTENNAE RODS "G" ZA1771 (B-set). Reproductions made from copper tube and threads in brass. Tube length 24" (as originals) and right tube diameter. Top of the tube is open as original British produced examples. Correct thread size and length, will screw into your base without adjustments. To avoid corrosion the threads are made in brass. First batch is painted in British service brown, but can easily spray painted in any color of your desire. > To prevent these rods sold as originals (sold for 45 pounds / 50 euros these days if you can find them) these reproduction rods are stamped with an "R" at the base, denoting reproduction. Also the weight (ca. 90 grams) is a little higher than the originals. < Sold as reproduction, I cannot guarantee these will send/receive radio signals properly. £22 / €25 each, exclusive postage Shipping from The Netherlands or UK (tbc, might take several months) Please send PM for additional info or placing orders.

Have a look on the Daimler Dingo Society Facebook Group. Images are stored in the "Files" section, just type "aerial" and you will find them. https://www.facebook.com/groups/437020513037556/?locale=nl_NL

The suit isn't only used for Daimler Dingos crews, also other "open" armoured car crews. But I must day the price seems extreem high to me.

Hello group ! Recently I've bought some british WW2 blackout covers for my Daimler Dingo (Restoration in progress). With friends we discussed about british and canadian military blackout covers, and suddenly we realised we knew nothing about the Australian blackout covers used during WW2. We suppose that the Canadian produced vehicles (CMP) came with matching canadian covers, but what about AUSTRALIAN PRODUCED blackout covers ?? The very little info I found was about a set being stored in a round tin can ("cookie jar"). It was described as having a small round glass (about a watch-size) with a blue and a clear glass lens. A hinged lid would be fitted to allow a full light beam to be used when needed. QUESTION : Has any one additional photos of original WW2 Australian blackout covers? Or additional instructions ? Why the 2 different glass lenses, one blue and one clear ? Thanks for your help !

It might help, if you refer to the lorries as a "Recreational Vehicle" -or even better " a Campervan". They are also large, taken-out out a few times per year and NON-commercial.

And w itch battery looks the most like a "L-WD-2/4" ??

Hello forum! My Hillman Mk2 has got a modern battery that needs replacement. According to the parts manual it originally was fitted with a "L-WD-2" , or a "L-WD-4" or a "BNW7/9A" battery. The Hillman has got a 1Volts, negative ground system. My question : Has anybody got photo's / drawings and measurements of these batteries ? With the photo's and measurements I can go and search for a modern batterie that looks as good as possible. Anyone has a link to a "vintage repro" battery seller? Thanks in advance !

The inserts are there to press the side of the rubber to the rims. the make sure the rubber tyre "sticks" to your steel rims.

Hi Martin, Are you looking for the front or the rear hooks? You should be able to cast the rear towing hooks.

Gentlemen, I'm looking for info / photo's / descriptions of the WW2 Bleach Powder Tins carried on most WW2 AFV vehicles for decontamination purpusses. They are widely mentioned in most vehicle "stowage lists", but until now I cannot find any documentation about them, or any photo's. Is there anybody who can help?

And I forgot to mention: found innertubes locally for a very nice price (20 euro each) and will fit adaptor valves to inflate hem. Very handy those adaptor valves !

Hello Richard, I'm planning to use the RF2 tyres and keep the solid tyres back on reserve. I must say I forgot about the inserts for the RF2, but with a normal size type of innertube I'm figuring I don't need to fit them as the innertube will fully inflate the tyre. (Will regret it when I get a puncture though ! ) The 2 first photo's shows the tyres I 'm planning to use, the last photo shows the same type of tyres in use (Normandy 1944). But thanks for your comments.... made me think extra !

Hello Forum, I'm looking for inner tubes for my Daimler Dingo, wheel size 7.00 x 18" They need to have the steel angled valves. I've googled, but got lost in Alibaba-offers! Any UK based truck or tractor suppliers ? And YES : those are for the NON-solid tyres 7.00 x 18" wheels. Will need 4 or 5 of them. Hope you can help.
