I went up as well and I take my hat of to the trader outside in the rain it was persisting down

all the time I was there but he always had a cheerful smile on his face and a friendly greeting

to all who stopped I don't know what he was on but I will ask him to send me some for the

next show I do

Commander

Thanks Bob

It was my first time attending what a venue and to top it all the organisers gave each exhibitor

10 free pints of beer plus £25.oo. expenses if you came in a vehicle this is a must for next year

and it was only 95 miles from us to get to Conwy

Commander

I received 2 scopes with the bits of the QF 37mm Mk1 anti tank gun I bought

in pieces

1 is a No 244 dated 1940

1 is a 22D Mk1 dated 1943

my question is which if any should I keep ?

Commander

Hi

I have a 12v battery charger at the moment for the Fox but its driving me a bit nuts to disconnect the battery each time to charge - can anyone recommend a 24v battery charging system for in series 12v 100ah batteries?

cheers

Mark

Try to pick up an electric wheel chair charger most of them are 24 volt

H all have jus been given this 20mm anti aircraft gun con some one tell me were it was made anb if i can get a manual for it all the best jerry please take a look at my web site http://www.jerrysjeeps.co.uk

Nice 20mm Jerry it looks very similar to a 20mm Hispano anti aircraft gun WW2 dated I sold a few years ago

this looks a bit more chunky than the one I had it was a nice light gun to tow and to be honest I

wish that I had never sold it

Commander

Which parts from the gun and carriage do you have missing ? There were quite a few of these guns disposed of by the finns and most now seem to have disapeared.

Is your gun ex-Finnish stock.

Hi Rob, this had a British data plate on which I have taken off to clean off the rust and crap

the original numbers are Nr 3070 Z 1939r

Commander

I was rubbing it down today and found the original Polish stampings on it

I will copy them down and post on here it seems very well made to me

Commander

A couple of pictures

So your gun is Wz36 re-badged as a QF Mk1 -I wonder how it got out of Poland? The plot thickens.

Stripped the offending suspension down and sorted out the problem

a nut had come off inside the assembly still looking for a parts book

to buy or just copy it is damn dificult trying to sort things out from old

photos I can find on the net it is the model made in Poland in 1939

Commander

Are you getting fuel to the carb ?

easy way to check is after turning engine over a few times

take a plug out and check if it is wet

if not take top of air cleaner off and pour half a cup of petrol down the intake

small cup I might add if it fires or tries to start it is a fuel problem

Commander

Our club the NSMVT took the decision many years ago not to attend shows

which charge a booking in fee to enter our vehicles

Commander

My Bofors is the English version on the data plate it says QF MK1 37MM if I remember right

I have started to strip it down and one side of the suspension is sitting down as if it is not

connected to the spring system the other side moved up and down ok anybody ever pulled

one of these to pieces and got any info on this will post a picture about what I mean

Commander

I have had both 4x4's and 6x6's and the 6's win hands down in my mind

the 4's might turn tighter but the 6's are a mans machine

Commander

Sounds like a UJ joint to me breaking up on one of the prop shafts

or you are driving in 4 wheel drive

Commander

Sorry to hear about your dad hope he makes a full recovery I suppose

we will see him when he is up and about and visiting family in Stoke

Commander

The wheels on mine are a of a solid dish not cut away and it

has solid type tyres

Commander

Do they still charge to exhibit at this show our group stopped going when they

started charging to exhibit at this event

Commander

I have just picked up a QF 37mm Bofors dated 1939

in pieces lots of bits missing from this gun

does anybody have any pictures of this weapon

C

Before anybody comes up this weekend this post was submitted on 30/06/2006

I do not know where it has been resurected from ?????

Commander

I thought that being a member of the MVT covered you in this respect of the VCR act

and for deacts you do not come under the VCR act

Commander

I had a visit from some thieving scroot who nicked an air soft bb Thompson from the stall

also the magazine which was seperate but they missed the charger for the battery

and the loading tube for the magazine so if anyone gets offered or hears of a air soft

bb Thompson for sale minus these bits drop me a line please
