Perhaps Hendon may a copy? These subsections of AP 1086 are very hard to come by, maybe someone on an aircraft restoration/collecting site might have something?

This is from AP 1086 Book 1 1949. You will see what you need to look for is AP 1086 Book 13 to get the detail.

If you want more info on the 24v 90A charging system, there is some stuff here:

Indeed, I have some FAP 1086 from 1980s & 90s these are of course NATO Codified but the vocabulary section is maintained as the Domestic Management Code preceding the NSN. The entries at that stage under 34A are only aviation fuels. All the old favourite automotive lubricants are listed with 34D as the DMC. It does have some cross-reference sections to the "old reference" but most entries for this are blank. I have a 1954 RAF fuels & lubricants handbook. Unfortunately it is mainly concerned with fuel. I have some Defence Guides for POLs that predate Defence Standards, but shed no more light than Richard has found. I have a 1948 edition of AP 1086, its not very detailed, but I'll see what it says about section 34.

34A is a little curious, I would have expected them to perhaps have been 34D. In AP 1086: 34A Aviation fuels & engine lubricants 34B Aircraft & airborne equipment lubricants 34C Ground & marine equipment lubricants 34D Vehicles & ground equipment lubricants 34E POL sampling, measuring etc

I don't know what era you are looking for, but there are some equivalents here:

There is some coverage on these pages 13-15

Well done Philip, you must feel well chuffed. Although it was painful at the time, you will have learnt a lot & have a glow of satisfaction every time you take her out for a drive. It is good that you have doggedly slogged away searching for the fault. So often in these difficult times desperation leads to illogical ripping out of components in the hope that the fault will be cured. This results in a pile of components that may be perfectly good but can never be trusted or worse still more problems are introduced by including items that themselves may bring more problems. Not only is that tedious & illogical but it is expensive & nothing has been learnt.

Philip 28v is quite an easy mistake to make as specs for modern military vehicles refer to 28v systems rather 24v. I think a running & charging Rover 24v system should be running at 28.5v. Once the ballast resistor has been drawing current for several minutes, the 10v to the coil drops 9v. It doesn't say that anywhere but I have measured it on a number of systems & that is what happens. Have you measured the resistance of the coil primary? It should be 2.5 - 2.8 ohms Have you measured the resistance of the filter box? It should be about 4.4 ohms when cold It worries me that with the CB points open that you don't get 24v but instead you get 0.77 or so volts. I would check the continuity of the CB screened lead to coil. If the continuity of the lead is ok, check that the points have been assembled correctly as there is some short circuiting in the distributor base plate assembly. It is unlikely that the condenser has failed & causing the fault, but if it has it would be getting very hot.

If you mean Cookers, Portable, No.2 Mk 2 and No.3 Mk 3? The EMER modifications & misc instructions: Mods (control rod reservoir tank) issued January 1969 Mods (tank, cap, valve & feed tube) were issued in March 1974, superseded in June 1974. Mods (burner assembly) in August 1982, superseded in Sept 1985 Mods (burner grid) July 1989 (EMER ENGINEERING & MISCELLANEOUS D 307 & D 309)

It is sad but it was sacrificed for the greater good to keep a Hornet still running. When I bought the 1601 it was in a bad state it cost me £100 + £100 to get it home.. I needed to get the flywheel off as some buffoon had burnt out the clutch on the Hornet & cracked the flywheel. One torsion bar went to a Mk 2 Pig that had snapped snapped a bar & the rear wheel stations went to Pigs. The engine was scavenged for spares. The cab was pretty far gone when I got it.

Yes the cab is vulnerable, here is my old FV1601

I don't know, all I can say is that the database I'm working from is approaching 25 years old. So the absence of any parts would suggest something of recent manufacture.

The only info I can add is the exhaust pipe also has the part no. A59765 from Beakbane Ltd Kidderminster

That's a Queens crown.

Chris later installations such as yours seemed to be in that position. It did afford greater protection for it & its connector being tucked out of the way. The downside is that it is much more difficult to attend to any cross thread problem or take measurements on the generator. Besides I suspect your harness may not quite long enough to reach the top.

RE 14549 is a RR part no. but is it not for a float? Cross checking throws up: 16K 18235 (RAF) 10710--1642 (Marcus Engineering who took over RR service parts. I suspect 10710 is the Solex no. & relates to 40NNIP1642) I have the RAF ISPL for B60 Mk 5G & no mention of RE 14549 or 16K 18235 although are are some quite similar numbers. NSN 2910-99-401-1670 might help

Looks like you have Generator No.1 which is rated at 12A 28.5v there were two types of Generator Panel looks like you have No.1 Mk 1 a later rather different panel was No.1 Mk 2/1. Both of these panels are very hard to find, but the good news is that I have seen people fit the Generator Panel No.2 Mk 1 which is the 25A panel intended for the Generator No.2 Unlike the Generator No.2 which has a gearbox, the No.1 can be tested by running it as a DC motor. Via say 15A fuse energise the field winding (C & E) & via another fuse energise the output winding (A & B) & the dynamo should rotate as a motor would.

Looking in a later publication Jan 2003 0100-A-001-013 a new entry appears in Group 73 that might be promising: 7360-H-100 Mobile Field Bakery System So that AESP octad might be something to pursue.

These are the only AESPs listed in Group 73 in the index 0100-A-001-001 June 1986

Would this virtual show be truly authentic & display pictures of overflowing toilets?

Ok thank you for those Chris. Did you ever come across black & brown?
