I think that's the later Mk5 nut, the earlier nut had the rows of holes but they had the same number, ie 2 rows of 6 where as the later had one row of 3 and one row of 6 at the front. The mk2 had 3 rows of 3. you would need the earlier type for wartime mk5s. You could of course convert a mk2 into a mk5 if need be.

Apparently it's not law as yet, until it's passed into statute Law, no law is broken. Seeing as they're are amendments on the table, I hope they wait before making it statute law.

Output shaft thrust washer off the transfer case. http://www.willystech.com/wt/Model18TCase/Model18TransferCase.html im just rebuilding my gearbox and TC at the moment. I've been following the link above.

Have you seen this how to? http://www.1942gpw.com/c-93-G503_WWII_Jeep_6_volt_Autolite_Generator_Rebuild_Restore.aspx

Yep, looks like it's been in French service, lots of incorrect parts.

You can also try kings99 on eBay. He's always parting out rotten jeeps so may be able to help. http://m.ebay.com/itm/Original-Set-of-Fuel-Tank-Straps-Ford-GPW-Willys-MB-WWII-Military-Jeep-/231883450124?nav=SEARCH or there's Jay Hinton in California who has a jeep grave yard. Ive bought stuff from them both and if you tell them exactly what you want, that's what you get.

Pressure washers are evil when it comes to vintage motorcycles!!

I'll jump in to and say that in the States, they part out Jeeps in better condition than this. I'm afraid it's about 20 years to late for this poor girl. It isn't even obvious if the engine, gearbox and transfer box is present.

Looks like the intercom system used in Hardened Aircraft Shelters.

Have you seen this 75mm gun? http://www.milweb.net/classifieds/view_large.php?ad=79536&cat=1

One of many side effects of the ill conceived VCR act is that some criminals are painting the ends of their illegal live firearms orange to make police officers question what the suspect has. So as a result the colouring of RIFs has no significance any more.

Hi, that's actually a small scale replica that I used as an example. If you do need those parts I can probably get you them from a contact. As they are real and not restricted, they are exempt from the VCR and if any one tried legal proceedings, the CPS would never even try it.

Is it this you need?

Have you a photo or link?

Is this where the .30 browning would be? You could just buy a cooling Jacket and fit that. It wouldn't contravene the VCR act and is correct. Much cheaper than a deact too

There's so many fake NAZI flags out there and the fact this one is so new leads me to suspect this is a modern repro.

Yep, once you find a few holes in a story, you have to question if any of it is true.

Possibly off the L23A1 gun. scroll to the bottom and look along the barrel http://www.army-guide.com/eng/product3635.html

The secret room does suggest there were some suspicious activeties and I'm not defending the guy. It just annoys me that the story is hyped up by stating there was 200,000 rounds of ammo and every gun was live when blatantly that was incorrect and they will have known that. Had they stated he had 500 guns, 480 of which were deactivated and XX number were live prohibited then The story would have been credible.

Dave, do you know which Sqn he was on? Has he ever thought about coming back for a visit? I could maybe try and sort out a HMVF visit to my Sqn and have a look at our Tornados and Typhoons (We operate both platforms).

Danny, did you notice your girder bottom links are late WD Co and are back to front? It's an easy fix to alter to WD C spec and fit correctly. Also your front mudguard and stays aren't RE, no idea what it's from. Your front wheel is a nice early WD/C item made with Ally brake plate.

Thats where I'm based now, as you may have guessed, I'm a 21 year Armourer now but I'm getting disallusioned with it all. The MOD have changed our pension and now my trade has had pay cuts while the other 2 aircraft trades have had pay. Rises. The RLC Ammo Tech gets paid more than us now for doing a lesser job. So it looks like I will be PVRing along with a large amount of other armourers as there are no promotion prospects and no chance of a pay rise. I'm on a pay freeze until promotion if it comes and even then it's not worth it for £20 a month. Especially if it's away from my family. Having only been at home for 2 years of my sons 5 year life and having only been there for one birthday, it's time to leave. If if any younger members were thinking of joining the RAF, don't, unless your really adamant in which case, try and be an officer. 150 engineers have PVRd (premature early departure) in the last 6 weeks due to a number of recent issues (Ops, Pay and pension) so that's saying something. well gripes over.

Anyone seen this? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cer3LGG-ajw it was in the daily mail, what a load of poop. The story and detective has lost all credability by stating all guns were live and 200,000 rounds of live ammo. There's not one round of ammo shown. Lots of cases and bullets but no rounds. Also the STEN Mk3 is clearly deactivated in one photo so I would guess that the majority are also deactivated. A firearms dealer was convicted on 20 counts for supplying prohibited weapons. So 20 out of 500 makes them all live. Had the Police and the Daily Mail been truthful the story would have had credability but now it's just properganda!

We used to use these in 90s to move 'S' type trolleys in bomb dump when we'd loaded them with 1000lb ers. It could move around a space that the counter balance couldn't get near.

The DBG we used in service was a high percentage oil based paint. It took a long time to dry but it was really hard wareing! We used to paint pretty much anything and everything with it.
