Jack, the time you have spent talking about this you could have had them off

and the problem sorted , it seems strange though that all the drums were smoking

or was it just one of them

Commander

Degsy , you say the dutch man is unusual lol

I rest my case :-P

Commander

Have just sorted a problem on a jimmy 6 volt with slow turning over

and bad starting checked all the obvious things i.e. charged battery

then put it on a load tester ok, checked starter ok, checked wiring ok,

it was only after we had been on it half a day and decied to give it up

till the next day and the owner was messing around in the cab under

the seat and I asked him what he was doing and he replied just turning

the isolater off I had fiited a couple of weeks ago for security reasons

a quick disconection of same the 2 wires bolted together and insulated

and it through in straight away and fired up 6 volts don't like isolators

does your Dodge have one fitted

Nice weekend ,

only complaint to much sun and to hot

Commander

Hi Mark, my dealings with William have always been very cordial and polite

he tells you what is what and it is up to you to make your mind up the only

fault he has is being to laid back if that can be called a fault other than that

he is a real gentleman the work he puts out is very good not cheap but you

pay for quality

Commander

I know this may sound daft but check your oil

to much oil or to thick a grade will cause drag

on the fly wheels , on mine the brushes were worn

down and needed replacing also the contact switch

on top of the starter sometimes needs cleaning the

hardest thing on this is getting the starter off it's a bit

of a bugger unless your a skinny guy or gal

I have got a 9ftx7ft tent ex British Army 1950's fair condition that

the kids used, colour army plain green simple A shape, they now

have a 9ftx9ft because they needed more room for all the junk

they have price £50.oo. plus postage or collect

Commander

Hi Mark, gave him a ring but they do not have

any dat on real oldies thanks for the reply tho

Commander

One of the guys in the club had a gasket leak on the timing case

of his 1942 WDC 350cc Royal Enfied so he took the timing case

cover off then for some reason known only to him and God

kicked the engine over and the timing gears dropped out

now I know Enfields time up different than my Norton 16H

so please do tell the secret of the dots on the gears and order

of fitting all back together again

Commander

Well at least you did not back over my tent ,

which by the way did not sell but apart from being

a bit chilly nice day on the whole

Commander

So how many are going and does anyone have any ideas

on the turn out we are coming down from N.Staffs with a couple of guys from the Wirral [ thats a posh term for Liverpool]

commander

If you are after a Stolly one of the guys in our club has been trying

to get me to buy his, if you want details we are in N.Staffs

Commander

Another good idea is to run a seperate one to the engine block as well

Commander

Ammended

I think you have just answered your own question

the base should be stamped .30 cal and the brass case

itself is longer than the std 9mm brass case

"Hi MM,

If you can drive a Dodge you can drive a CCKW,I find the GMC easier to be honest,better steering and gearbox too.

Matt."

I think your brains have been rattled to much in that GMC with

a statement like that , EASIER LOL LOL

You do not need seat belts if the vehicle was made without them,

after a certain date you need seat belts and also to wear them,

also before a date which I can not remember you do not need

them fitted for a MOT test I think this date was in the 60's but if

fitted to say a 40's vehicle they have to be working and also you

must wear them at all times elae Mr Plod can give you a ticket

Commander

I have been with the AA for quite a few years now

and apart from one incident at Thruxton when I must

have got the AA patrol from hell I have found them

very good they have felayed my Dodge and Jeep from

all over the country when it has been needed and gone

out of their way to go looking for parts etccc . and even

the one time I did have a problem at Thruxton and told

the AA patrol to go away politely and got them to send

a real person which they did eventualy who solved the

problem they will recover upto to 3.5 tons as will the RAC

Commander

So thats how you got caught, lay the bait with a ferret

then kapow hook him with the pig, that was one cool dude

Commander

So come on then what was your excuse for buying the pig

I must admit mine must have been a moment of madness

every time I look at it I think "Why"

Commander

Does anyone know how much it costs to hire a Tank

Just wondering

Commander

I am the events org for the NSMVT and we are going to Normandy

Commander

Now you've done it , with saying them magic words

your cursed , the only way to take the curse away

is to put a E20 note in a envelope and send to me

Commander
