Going from memory firing order for 6 cylinder engine either 153624 or 142635 some manufactures ie RR and Jaguar start no1 Flywheel end, others no1 crankshaft drive damper- pulley end. Daimler diesels had timing gears at the Flywheel end of the crankshaft.

Very similar the ones I used, they were like a large dynamo clamp. If yours are a cast ring they will be an easy tack otherwise you will need an mixed metal rod. A quick fix.

When I used to put metal rings around the brake drums, Years ago. It was to stop brake squeal, Interrupt the surface vibration of the drum. They were usually secured with a crimp bolt.

They - Establishment Museums are slowly turning into corporate hospitality venues. I hope and believe there is still a place for the individuals with a vision to make their dreams come to fruition and prosper as well.

Very tidy work, thank you for posting pictures.

Hello Tedly. How are you doing on the engine front, any success on finding info on the K60? Regards John.

How to make a good vehicle better

When the projectile leaves the barrel that is the end of the beginning, History is then written with a hit or depending on the closeness of the miss the end. It is very clinical and only part of the story counting symbols. It is the way history is written though.

When you think the rest of those shell cases came our lads way, and that was just one gun.

Richard Atlas in Sheffield may have some parts. When I was in his yard he had a Mki chassis and cab and the recovery crane off a Mk3 . He runs an Atlas dealership.

Hello and welcome. Make a brew, take your seat and enjoy

An interesting little vehicle. Thanks for posting

If they are still around they will still be part of the really usefull club. I dare bet you could still do the job with them

Hello and Welcome. It is actually better than a book, it is interactive practical and alive.

There used to be a Russian tank outside of the grain plant at Belford. It came off the low loader when they were delivering it. There is a Bedford RL recovery truck in a scrapyard at Wooler. It is not there now.

Sorry I do not know. I am going from memory I think they were diesel 330s. I think the concept was use one when running empty and both when loaded.

Easiest thing to power is a truckers 24v microwave does everything f and d you want for a snack

Thank you for the picture. A real thrill. Changing the subject a little a few camp fires ago Commercial Motor did a feature on a Bedford twin engined side by side Tractor Unit

It will need to be overflowing before you start. Sometimes even for the eternal optimist it is just a click to far

Trembles in Newcastle ran an Antar on heavy haulage they used to get 2 gallons to the Mile. It was in their garage on Whitley Road the last time I saw it.

Oh Thats not encouraging

Hello. You certainly know how to make an entrance!

I did not have any more information. I did wonder if someone would be able to put a number to it. Good to know it evaded the gas axe.

I was talking to a man today, and he remembered seeing an Antar in a scrapyard in Wigan with 2 side by side RR B80 engines. He also remembers talking about the fuel consumption, Best 3 gallons to the mile.
