With the  ongong task of  tidying  stuff I have  found  some  bits  to sell. The  first  is  I assume  a  wartime  British waterproof 75mm gun cover . all in good  order  except  asmall thumb nail size  hole which ou can see  in the  pictures price  £50.

Also the  ultimate  tank tuning  piece  of  equipment 1945 dated  and  can be  used  on any  wartime  british afv. Last  used  about  8 years  ago and seemed to work fine. . All cables  in good  order and  appears  complete further  pics  available  on request. £400 ono

Yes  that sounds  about  right  . Sounds  like it  may  have  gone  abroad would  explain why  I have  not  seen it  since . Thanks

Hi All I used to own the  attached  truck I know it  got  sold  to a  dealer  in the  North of the  UK. Does  anyone  know if  the  vehicle  still around ? Thanks  

Hi I tried Chris previously but no luck. I think i have probably sourced some pedals locally now. Thanks for your help.

Does anyone out there have a Bedford QL Clutch and Brake Pedals they would be interested in selling ?

Thanks

Richard

Just having a clear out of some bits so per the photos there are 2 x ammo boxes one is 1945 dated . 3 x fire extinguishers(all full) on mounting brackets, some straps, some rifle clips plus what ever else you see in the photos. £75 the lot. Items located south east Kent .

My wife was feeling a bit left out at the MV shows so she has bought herself a Bedford MW , muggins here has been tasked (with help from Richard Farrant) to fix the few bits and pieces(not that there is much) that are wrong with it.

One obvious thing that is wrong is the bottom of the windscreen where the rubber seal attaches.

Could anyone take a picture of the bottom of the screen and if possible how the rubber attaches so I can get some channel with the correct profile

Thanks

Yes definitely cable operated i have a basically complete one on my tank transporter was going to get a couple made so i also had one for my recovery. Can send some pictures over at the weekend when i get back up the workshop

Richard

Bought mine from morris Lubricants and the more you buy the cheaper it gets also as noted free delivery as well

I recently noticed odd holes in my austin K5 spare wheel carrier i assume they are for a bracing bar of some kind I know the QL one is slightly different. can any of the k5 owners out there help. thanks Richard

I know I started this thread ages ago but i recently tracked these guys down for vehicle insurance they were really helpful and did me a good price (better than everyone else). They even have an offer on at the moment so thought I should share with everyone.

Hi Gav

You finally managed to get on here

Cheers

Richard

Thanks for posting the pics It was great fun to drive unfortunately after the run round the arena I lost a couple of bits and had to go back and find them(which luckily I did) It was great to meet up with a couple of guys from the forum always wonder what people look like at the other end of the screen.

The rad needed repair as a couple of the tubes had been broken I was lucky i had a couple lying round.

I have been emailing Henry Forrest who I bought the Pioneer from for any copy pics but no luck I knoiw he is very busy at this time of year

Whilst I was at the W&P show I was lucky enough to be able to have a couple of rides round in the Pacific that were on site. I have attached some inside looking out shots

Well having got the Pioneer running and moving it went to the W&P show I have attached some pics of it going off for a run round the site including the arena the old girl didn't miss a beat and ran really well

Well after much mucking around I managed to get the tank transporter running just before Xmas I tried to move it but the clutch was seized . Well today I dragged the old girl out (with the help of a mate)to the back field in the hope of freeing up the clutch by running round .... and it worked . The 1st time in at least 20 years she is running round under her own power . I am hoping to get it to Beltring(unfortunately not going to road it )

Glad to see you finally got on here mate

I went to have a look at her a little while back but she has seen better days. The engine is in bits with the head and sump both off and the weather has got in

I would be interested in some frames for my k6 gantry if a batch is being done.

Thanks for the info I will drop CROC a mail . BTW the people I spoke to on the Register reckoned the complete transporter and trailer had gone to Belgium
