Peter glad that was of help. That's obviously not a definitive list, they are only the ones I have got. You may get more info by joining: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MilitaryManualCollectorsClub/ I tend to agree on your pricing limits. I don't actively hunt literature on weapons or uniforms, unless it is part of a deal on books & it would be silly not to pick up a bargain. The trouble is those two subjects are very popular & the price is fixed accordingly, so I tend to collect manuals on the less eye catching subjects. (My little hunt around for you showed me that my database is seriously out of date & on my main catalogue I discovered over 50 spelling mistakes. It seems for years I have been writing "Pamplet" & "Ammendment". I never knew I couldn't spell those correctly, so I'll have to add those to my list of things that I can't type correctly even when I know they are coming, which includes regular errors such as "Ploice" & "Protype")

Well it was sold to Canada & Australia as well as UK. I suspect it is part of Alarm Set Anti-Intrusion No.3 W/Relay System (CLASSIC) It entered service with the British Army in 1982 & that fits in with the 1983 date on the bag. CLASSIC = Covert Local Area Sensor System for Intrusion Classification It is covered in the AESP sequence 6350-B-103-101 etc The basic system comprises two units that look like rather older style large hand-held radios. The detector can be fitted with seismic, transducer/pressure, magnetic or IR sensors. The VHF signal transmitted to the receiver has a range of up to 7 km. Up to 8 sensor transmitters can be used with one receiver & the compartmentalised bag looks just the job for carrying a set of these around. These would be a rather heavy load so it is understandable there is such sturdy strapping.

Oh well curiosity got the better of me!

Gary my Pam. No.4 is "The Sub-Machine Gun" that is of IT Volume I WO Code No.8948 1955 Peter I think the ones you have listed are IT Volume I. Is it only Vol I you are interested in? Without the WO/Army Code No. its too much of a fiddle to extract them from my list of books I have in Word. Although it is incomplete these are the ones I have & entered onto the database (thank you Neil )

If you are one short, then fit just one be it a RSN13P or RSN12Y. Either will work & they will do so in isolation. The plugs in the other cylinders aren't going to get the hump & work less efficiently because they know there is a different type plug working next door in another cylinder. Although it is perhaps good advice to start off with 6 new plugs anyway. But they can be a mixture of the two types. I have seen many Pig engines directly out of service that have had a mixture fitted.

OK Wayne I believe you................because you're worth it

Wayne is that an insult? What the hell is a GUCI anyway?

Hello Berni, where's your avatar gone then? Wasn't that an upside-down cuddly rodent??

I would buy a set of Whitworth spanners that go large enough. You will find the other sizes will get used.

Not cheap but nice to have when you need them.

is you a plummer mate, i've got this dripng tap that neds fixiing:D:D

Richard the parts book isn't a great help it just says "Plug, brass, BSP, 3/4 in" That of course is the size of the ole not across the flats! Even a 1 1/4 AF is too small, I use a Whitworth spanner 3/4W but no idea what that equates to in AF. I just took an old bit of the fuel pipe to B&Q & found a very close match. The new stuff of course is metric. Yes you need olives. When you get to do the brake pipes best to use proper new imperial stuff (5/16 in ID) & buy a cheap flaring tool.

SAE30 Use copper. I used central heating oil pipe. Also used it for the feed to the master cylinder & air compressor line (but you won't have that to worry about)

Dave, I had nearly forgotten the others. Took a bit longer as something wrong with the scanner & they were very watery, so tweaked them into a more readable state.

Richard that is indeed excellent news. I'm sure there are a lot of well wishers who are watching your progress who can share you sense of relief. Whilst you have such good access, it would be worth taking those two panels off below the exhaust outlets & checking the exhaust valve tappet gaps. The clearances should be stamped on a plate on top of the rocker cover. Not all plates are up to date the exhaust clearance was once 10 thou (cold) but that was changed to 15 thou.

Mark bear in mind that if it was FFR it would have been 12/24v ie the automotive side 12v & a separate 24v alternator for the FFR stuff.

Peter for me to find anything you'll need to quote the WO/Army Code No.

No Tim actually its light grey for MT, red for aircraft with a black 'A' as at 1915. Anyway when I find it again I'll scan it for you & put it up here. Then when someone says "Wrong colour mate!" then you call quote official specs at them. It also has the specs for the packing cases to carry them & for the 50-gallon drums & the fuel itself, not to mention floor polish, Champagne, pea soup, dried onions & cakes (fancy)

Predominantly yes I think Tony. Also pressure testing & was a multi-role piece of kit given its hydraulic capability. There were various later Marks that were larger & used less components susceptible to corrosion.

Ok Dave here's No. 100 to be going on with, a similar number are in 101 (to follow later).

I have FAP1086 for 1992 & 1998 but not listed

Here it is chapter & verse.

Oh yes:-D

Sorry Alec in all the excitement of running two MOs at the same time I missed your answer. You have done very well on both MOs. Yes you are correct it is indeed an hydraulic pump with the capability of pumping air Pump Air or Liquid Mark 1 L

Perhaps you just need it when travelling in Scotland? :-D
