Didn't torpedos run on compressed air? Later ones were electric i think.

It's nice to see these moulds made. We had some in the museum collection. I have a huge transmission bearing completely made in wood even the screws. It was painted to look like cast iron.

A car restorer from a firm that makes aluminium bodies once told me a trick to form aluminium. That was clean it up first to bare. Then trace some lines on it with a bar of soap. Then slowly heating it with a torch from the other side till the soap lines get black. Then the aluminium is softened up enough to form. I don't know if this also works for cast aluminium. Good luck.

Look at autosparks.co.uk they have lots of electrical materials

They are to small, michelin truck wheels always have 6 holes.. Not expensive though 😉

Sorry to tell you. Wheel is not longer there, sold to an owner of an little UNIC truck which seems to the same wheels.

I sold it to a friend, will ask if he still has it.

You have to wind it up again...😉

Something for the fairground...

Here the Michelin truck wheel mentioned earlier found at my uncle's attick in France.

I think you will have to set the mag timing a few degrees before TDC. Good luck.

This nice pic turned up on the Citroen truck forum. The british tank with german crosses on it. The french did paint the protruding edges of the wreck white for "road security" 😉 The strange thing is that seen the after 1935 traction this wreck must have been laying there for a while.

nice job

german convoy bombed...and transformed in a grave monument.

For brass cleaning i had good results with vinigar with a few spoons of salt in it. You see it eating away the green oxydation.

It's why they have double tyres in the rear to carry the extra load. These were car chassis in the beginning not trucks.

Can we see the other sides too?

Studs distances are measured diagonally normally center to center holes.

Here an Michelin ad from 1918

And it has only 2 cylinders??? Did they put an 2cv engine in?

The watercooled v6 was of peugeot origine if i am correct.

Nice beast, front wheels look like Michelins that were used on the Citroen U23 trucks.

Maybe they have other sizes as they are making them?

Brush Fertan on the rusty steel after a light steel brushing. Wet it an hour later and than 24 hours later You can wash all rubish off and you aready for priming and painting. Have got good results with that but you have to stick to the instructions they give. The stuff isn't very agressive.
