Thanks Bryan, it’s post war number was 22AA25, perhaps I can check that way

steve

Hi, I have a jan 45 mb which has the original raf 208989 written on the hood. Is there a list of numbers anywhere or someone who knows could help tell me where the jeep might have been stationed ww2/ post war, any help greatly appreciated

Tried to ring you, that number seems wrong

Typical, miles away, northampton

Are you looking for genuine mb? Think I have a wof one, where are you located?

regards steve

Never saw a bolt head like that when I rebuilt my jeep, I would say the other box

They were a set of photos taken after the battle of caranten by life magazine photographer Frank Scherschel

trooper is John G Mcfarlen, 502 pathfinder,, 101st airborne

came across this picture recently, I have never seen this bike before nor it’s use by airborne troops. 

Thanks Ron, I don’t think I will ever find the proper clips, I have got some old terry pushbike clips that look exactly the same, chrome at the moment but will blast and paint, 

Finally, after a 2 year search I have found a pump, this one measures 12 inches, thanks for all your help

If you can’t find one, I can recommend one in Northampton

Hi, if you get stuck, I know a guy in Northampton still does classic car radiators,

steve

I thought it was legal to ride with one, I always have. It was designed to be a motorcycle helmet long before any bs or euro numbers were invented

Strange that the Canadians didn’t like the Harley wla so they came up with the wlc with the hand clutch. I wonder what they made of the Indian controls and if they ever modified them

great pictures Lex

steve

Please keep them coming Lex, I have been trying to find any info/ photos of Indians in Northern Europe and these are the first for me

steve

I noticed in lexs photos the fifth one down looks like it was taken in Northern Europe, maybe Germany or Austria, this is the first time I have seen an Indian in this theatre. Is there any more info on this photo

thanks steve

Great picture Lex, I haven’t seen any of these photos except the last one, which shows New Zealander’s in italy

thanks Steve

Are you looking for a total basket case or something running, where are you? I have a 44 mb that I could be tempted to let go

steve

Thanks for the info guys, that’s just what I needed,

now I’ve just got to find a pump..........

steve

Thanks for the picture Ron

i can’t find any info on who it was made by, if it was brass or the length

regards Steve

Hi, does anyone have any details on the tyre pump fitted to this bike

thanks Steve

Hi I'm am looking for a wc12 or similar, must be in good condition and running

thanks steve

Okay, I think I have two, will get some pictures tmrw

steve

Hi, I have a front end, if you need some photos let me know, I can email them.

i am in northampton

regards steve

Hi, I have never used hardener, just sprayed as is, just wiped it down with wd40 or similar and it gives a nice patina

regards steve
