hi mike, i thought mark ran his petrol lump on reclaimed petrol like i do, cant see the logic of putting in a diesel and having to pay for fuel when the reclaimed petrol is free (well mine is) :-D i see mark is not posting on here :laugh:......yet regards

well it is for you mate, with all that wealth of experiance :-D pigdog, its not rocket science, i can do it and im not a mechanic, follow chris g chart and you wont go wrong:-D good luck

GWT, i always morris straight 20/50 and had no problems, changed oil once a year. as for smoke, do a compression test. regards

thanking you :-D

morning all, just had some pics sent over from my sister in the philippines of a hotchkiss M201, i did t think the french army was ever out there after WW2. could anyone enlighten me please to wether they were, the data plates are in french, plastic canvas and 24volt regards graham

inch and a quarter

when you do mike, please dont go on about retro fitting ABS and airbags and dont even go there about the deck chair :pfrt:

was t so hard was it :-D

that could also apply to the lorry hitch ?

mike, i have not suggested any mods to any vehicle, all i have tried to do was help maverick answer his question, you are the one that has gone off on one about fitting chains to your lorrys not mavericks, that you have no mounting points and that it is not needed,mavericks lorry has mounting points, you have had two replys on this thread about trailers coming off, human error, i have been around machinery all my life and have seen a lot of misshaps, mostly human error, you are obviously one of those rare people that has nothing go wrong, never makes a mistake and is perfect in every way why cant you just help maverick answer his question about where to get chains, than have nine pages of you dont need them etc etc

we are relaxed mike, you have made it a big deal, not us :nut:

is that not OCD ? :-D

all stuart wanted to know was wether his chains were man enough or where he could purchase some that are, his lorry is AMERICAN, not BRITISH and the americans fit chains on their vehicles. As i know stuart personly, i know that he likes his lorry and gun as near perfect as he can get, as the american army fit them, why are certain people saying he should t have to fit them, there is no need to fit them, to get his exhibit right he HAS to fit them, the BRITISH army dont fit them, i am sure he is not bothered what the british do, just what is nescessary to get his exhibit as it would have been in vietnam i also know that sometimes he has help fitting gun to lorry at the shows and that can be be a distraction in itself, so the fitting of chains will certainly help his conscience when he goes down the road

:rotfl:

very nice, :-D

thats exactly why maverick wants to have breakaway chains :-D

sorry, they are between hassocks and hurstmierpoint, to many H s regards
