Hi Wally - you are always welcome to but in The side rails I have are The "U" section on mine is about 1.125" wide and deep and would accommodate a 0.75" board Also one has at support bracket on it. Wally - any use to you (Free of Charge of course) "goanna" will PM you some more photos, also happy to take more measurements if you need

Started on tyre fitting .... one done, four to go. Need to get them done and fitted so I can move the truck into a position to do the welding on the rear. Dividing rim nuts will be painted red

Mine is a later model with "flat sided" tank, so doesn't have these boards. I was given part of a side rail from an earlier model, I will measure this up let you know the dimensions

Thanks Wally, I thought that was the case, just wanted to make sure Andy - Inner tubes from Duncan Smith (ToTec Tyres), they are heavy duty ones Cheers Richard

Hi Just got some inner tubes for British 16" rims (tyres will be 900x16) The valve is a long reach type, at the base of this is a nut and a washer. How are they used, or are they discarded ? Cheers Richard

Simon - thanks for the info Made up a useful tool today - rear hub nut wrench out of some old pipe (does the job perectly on both sizes) bit more woodwork (side panel frames) Just need to find the actual width of the rear of the cab and are the cabe sides parallel ?

Highly tempting... It would be nice to know exactly what the colours were

Bit of trial fitting of cab woodwork templates (will be making them in Ash in due course) Also link to film with some early MWC's in it (thanks to John Corden) , one with a very interesting camoflage https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/1060033073

Not sure what you are doing with your cylinder head..... If you are having the inlet/exhaust manifold side skimmed, make sure that the small recess in the 3 inlet ports are re-done. If you dont do this, then the sleeves in the inlet manifold may not seat properly in the blocks. Theworst case is that the inlet manifold may crack when the retaining bolts are tightened up as there will be a leverage points each of the 3 inlet ports My cylinder head will be dropped off on Monday for skimming, exhaust valve guide replacement, valves re-ground in etc.Will let you know how this goes...

Steady progress Started Welding... And started cab woodwork...

Looking Good.... On mine, the " exhaust flap thingy"[exhaust thermostat] has been removed, I was led to believe that this was later engine mod as many got stuck in one position, and was not reliable.. I assume the new bits came from Chris Morter Not sure if to re-instate mine or not

I think Dave King is the organiser

Hi I think that this has been cancelled got an e-mail from MWSVehicles <vehicles@militaryworldshow.com> which said Dear Vehicle Owner, Thank you for booking into the Military World Show 2018, however Military World have to unfortunately cancel the 2018 show at Abingdon Airfield. This being an MOD site, is required for MOD purposes and therefore we are unable to make use of the site & our quick search to find another location has not proven fruitful for 2018, therefore the decision has been made to cancel the 2018 show.

Bulkhead grit blasted... Only a few bits need repairing... "Fingers" either side Centre well (probably the most tricky part Started the prep ready for welding New "fingers" Replacement panels will need a bit of trimming Hope to get most of the welding done next week, then ot will be back to the grit blastesrs and etch primed

Looking good. Glad you found a place to have it done

Thanks, will try Chris

Thanks.. BCC also made a vehicle mounting kit (which I have) but I don't think that this ever went into production

Nice looking set I am after the headset and aerial rod set to complete mine. The set is a pig to work, most of the germanium diodes on mine were duff, I replaced them with silicon ones Can't rememeber seeing a petrol generator on the CES. Richard

Hi Thanks for thr responses, it gives me someting to go on, yet to try Norman (i will soon need few more bits from him, so I will wait until then). If/When I get some, I will wet you know where I got them from Cheers Richard

Hi These are the 'guides' that locate a door in position, what are they actually called and where can you get them from (4 pairs needed)

I have had my MWC for a year, doesn't time fly Chassis coming along nicely Bottom end of engine re-built Rims ready for tyres Timber purchased for cab, bukhead nearly ready for gritblasting before welding new "fingers" on, foot wels etc Will be another busy year... Still looking for pumps filters, taps. Also Air filter mounting bracket elbows etc

Thanks Clive Any idea what vehicle other than Combat Engineer Tractor (FV180) ? Also if anyone wants them , please PM me. Cheers Richard

Hi Came across these today, what are they , and what are they used on ? Sorry about the photos being upside down, they are the correct way up on my PC (even even when rotated 180Deg, they still come out upsided down ) Cheers Richard

Hi As said above the edition only relates to Rob Vanmeel's book His latest "edition" is No.5 and this also only lists up to L6277385 Information on numbers above this would be very useful to many people. Also any information on how the wartime (16xxxxx) rebuild numbers were allocated would be useful. Cheers Richard
