    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.

    AUSTRALIAN WW2 blackout Covers

    in MV Chatter

    Posted

    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 !

    WW2 "L-WD-2" or "L-WD-4" BATTERIES

    in Lubrication, Batteries & Electrics

    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 !

    Do you want the screened ones or the un-screened type?

    Found a army reference list for spark plugs. Listed below is a part of that list that discribes the screened sparkplugs, including measurements and the "civilian" names of the products.

    I've listed TABLE 1(b) below, that deals with the screened plugs suitable for Dingo's.

    7.00 x 18" Inner tubes

    Hi,

    What tyres are you using? Are they the runflat tyres which were tubed (ie those used during the war before the RFEI was introduced)? If so then a 7.00-18 car or truck tube will be no good as it will be too big, the cavity in the tyre being smaller plus the beadlock ring. Using too large a tube will mean it will crease and liable to fail. There were special tubes made for the runflat tyres.

    If you are using truck tyres of conventional cross ply type as I did, then I got tubes from North Hants Tyres, they are up in the Aldershot area.

    regards, Richard

    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.
