Oh right I thought you meant a ww2 museum.

Projects start around £10000 depending on condition and a fully restored model is £30k upwards. I would stay away from the modified engine models, as the cost to find the correct parts is great. tracks can be replaced with new correct rubbers and bands the cost is around £5000 or you can get full rubber tracks. canvas and poles are hard to find and replacement ones require your old zips/hoops et. I managed to get a near complete model with original engine/box/tracks/data plates minus the canvas in the uk a few years ago

It’s ok, this gmc has a custom made manifold which I’ve had skimmed and now I’m just adjusting the inlet to suit. Ive ordered some exhaust gasket paper and I will make new gaskets for it, so hopefully no more blow in those ports. We shall see...

That’ll be blowing then.

Got the old girl out of storage and started with putting a Battery charger setup on it. Nice little charger with a lead you attach to the battery and has a waterproof cover, so I can keep the battery topped up while not using it.

So after the little vintage show the manifold gasket failed blowing on outlet 3, the manifold which is a homemade job (not by me) was sent away for skimming but port three still has a blow by. So it’s time for a new/original manifold to be fitted I think. I will try and remember to take a photo tomorrow.

Oh what’s the website address for that ? I did google your user name and searched on here but sadly only more dribble came up, and I guess I’ll have to believe you about your love of strokes (less said the better maybe).

Who are you, Steve didn’t say you were knowledgeable unlike Ron so until he does you might have to keep your Norton Commando on gumtree.
-
Can I get back to posting about the restoration now or are you two going to get more upset ?
-
But what you really have to ask yourself is, Do I care ? and the answer is no I don’t. It will be used and it has been saved from rotting away which is the important thing, if the flea police wanna get geeky then fine but I’ve better things to do.

Yes I’m fully aware of all the military differences.
-
Yes I’ve media blasted it and painted it, binned the front mudguard as I have a spare, removed the rear light as I have a ww2 one to fit and ordered up new tyres and inner tubes for it.
