As you noticed we didn't manage to get back to you, tea got cold :rofl:, by time we'd done the rounds James wanted to leave, kids, when will we be their, is it time to go home.

Phil

You mean stuck on a tuffet about three hundred yards from the proper people ? :-D

I think its called - over looking the battle field :-D.

I'll be their..

It looks awesome, I wanted an FV432 or similar, but I think I may have to start looking for something like this!! Its awesome! What is it like on fuel and what engine is it??

You'll have to go a long way to find one that looks like this, best of luck.

Crouch Recovery have a nice FV432 for sale.

Mark

Stand back & hope :trustme:...............:stop:...........:help:............:banghead:

Thanks guys, going to remove the steering band & have a closer inspection.

I'll be in the FV434

Coming down the M1 yesterday I caught up with and overtook a pickup, one of the big Japanese type things. Painted boldly across the back was the company name 'A - Z Maps', or something to that effect. As I passed him what did I see on his dashboard - yeh, a satnav! So much confidence in their own products :-D

A to Z maps are based in Kent, they are embracing technology via satnav, or is this a dead end street :-D.

Took tongka for a run this evening, tiller adjustment has made no difference to the right turn. Pull slowly on the lever, with lots of pressure - slight turn only, pull quickly & track locks up :sweat:.

Don't forget the 434 :yay:

Borrowed an assortment of sockets on Monday, job done :yay: only need to do a test run, see if the adjustment is enough.

Mark

Do you think this is work a look :shocked:.

When they say DON'T park this side of the cone - they mean it :stop:

Great weekend, went Sat, and Sunday. Weather wasn't to bad, seemed to be a far number of jo public their.

Thanks to everyone + Mark and guest :-D for coffee.

Some of my pic's, the rest are on Flickr

Phil,

 

This nut is easy to get at on the Abbot, so will have a measure up for you tomorrow.

Any news, would looooooooooooooooooooove to get this sorted. :thanx:

...yes item 20, this nut is very large !!

..I think that must be the adjuster, the main nut is about 43-45mm. 40mm is to small, 46mm to large.

:coffee:

Can someone tell me the size of the locking nut on the back of the steering box, fanks

Found this local - anyone know the model.

Was it the one for sale at R+R's ?

Mark

I looked at R & R's, think its had more of a life than the 250 odd kilometers shown (me thinks).

I think my cars been cloaned..:cry:

Start of the refurb, collected some 'as new' road wheels at the weekend, also have new track on order.

All the best Mark, sounds like an all together top weekend.

Best wishes

Phil & Nicki

You can see from the video that the sidecar wheel is driven as well.
