    I will put up with it and more to get the moments like Freddie at the Menin Gate or Ian packing a parachute. Look through the froth.

    Is that pyramid tread for steps
  6. john1950
    Looks more like a Lister or that ilk.Older Perkins were short. Leyland, Gardiner, and Rolls Royce are longer

    There are several reasons for the air gap in the silencer. One is to stop it possibly glowing in the dark another is to stop anyone burning themselfs by touching it, another is to cut silencer vibration and emited noise. Then you have a skin that will sustain damage and not detract from the silencer operation.

    Sounds like a big cam Cummins powerplant probably made in Darlington . With a bulletproof Fuller ranger hung on the rear once you learn to change gear clutchless you will enjoy the drive. Need ear defenders though especially if the exhaust comes out at the front..

    Saxons seem to have been built using some common parts with a Bedford KM. Spares should be fairly easily obtained for the Cummins engine they seem to be a popular engine to shoehorn between many different types of chassis rails.

      Hi John, two gaskets or fuel tank caps? Paypal to friends or family is easiest. My email is:

    Do not feel that way, I will be hidden in another list. At the worst just go with a best guess and check it with the dipstick as you refill the old Roller.

    It was worth watching just to see the parachute being packed by a man that can. Tool roll all in order and clean.
  15. john1950
    That makes at least 3 for sale at the minute. All really nice trucks
  16. john1950
    I think I only have that part, I will have to go into the Dark Box to see how many I have.
  17. john1950
    Do they look like this.
  18. john1950
    With older vehicles replacing weathered parts is just a fact of life. You can tell if most things are sound with an empty system a pair of safety glasses a small hammer and just little taps and the sound says a lot.
  19. john1950
    Yes, I claim old age brain fade.
  20. john1950
    I have a vague idea you could tell an RAF Pioneer because it was fitted with a cab heater

    If no leaks and working I would just leave them.
  22. john1950
    Salty roads is the bigest enemy of braking furniture. If you can hear them leaking you have to o/haul or replace. 120 is not considered high presure on todays trucks. Anything under presure be carefull with though, Any pictures. I have only been working on and cursing 360s lately.

    Ther are rumoured to be the remains of a Typhoon under a sports field nr. Ashington in Northumberland.

    Enjoy your trip.

    I did not realise it was an aluminium housing. Looks like a good fix.
