  1. Hi The Master Brake Cylinder is on the far right hand side, so it won't be an easy access Cheers Richard
  2. Hi This floor pan came with my MWC The slot on the left is for the handbrake, what is the other big hole for (A Scammel Conversion ?) Cheers Richard
  3. Great show, nice to see the Royal Armouries Sexton at the show. On Friday the inside of my 9x9 was lit up by one of the lightning flashes, the lightning display was impressive Cheers Richard
  4. Hi Not for the A14, the in-vehicle mount looks like (must get round to fitting it in my vehicle some time). On the underside tther are 4 rubber mounts The in-vehicle A13 has 4 pillars (very very over engineered !) and looks like this Cheers Richard
  5. Hi Not a Larkspur radio mount that I know of, possibly for a teleprinter to go with a C11/R210 conbination ? What are the dimensions of the tray ? Cheers Richard
  6. Thanks Richard I wasn't aware of the 20tpi British Cycle Thread (only ever used the 26tpi one) Thread is 20tpi (looks like 60 degree) Inner thread diameter is 0.637" and thread depth is 0.025" This makes it as CEI 11/16" 20tpi thread, so just got to find/make a nut see http://www.motalia.com/Html/Charts/cycle_chart.html for CEI thread datails Cheers Richard
  7. Hi Does anyone know the the thread that is used on 1940's lucas generators ? According to the parts list it is 'special' which probably means that it is an odball size.' I had to cut mine so that generator could be taken apart to be repaired, so I am after a replacement. It is not 5/8 UNF (18tpi) , it is more like M17 fine (20tpi), if it is this any ideas where I can get one Cheers Richard
  8. Hi Several people on the forum have been very helpful, I normally post thanks in that thread or by PM, however on some of the other forums I belong to there is specific thanks section. Any thoughts ? , Could be a new heading in the Community Service section Cheers Richard
  9. Hi Having removed the incorrect rear bumber off my MWC, I need to fabricate two rear extensions like these Please could someone supply me with the correct dimensions based on the datum shown in the first picture. Also after the loop brackets that fit on them Cheers Richard
  10. Are the vision blocks the same as a Ferret ?, as I might have a spare one of those Cheers Richard
  11. Took loads of bits to the grit blasters Started looking at the cylinder head, this will be totally stripped, valves re-seated, replace core plug at rear. Serious de-carbonising needed...
  12. Floor panels looking very good, what primer are you using? The only part of the floor pan I have is the one for handbrake, I will have to make a complete new floor pan in due course. Cheers Richard
  13. Hi Now that I know what the power pump is (but not how it is mounted or driven). I have been looking at the hand pump. There appears to be two types of pump Semi – reversible hand pump (like a bilge pump) not sure of the size possibly K2 ? And these (photo copied from this forum) Having had a look at the photos I can find on line it looks like I should be using the ones in the attached photo. What size are these ? Also is the tubular part for a pump handle? Can’t see how they work... Has anyone go two for sale ? Cheers Richard
  14. Hi Thanks for the input, I have restored my PTO, seehttp://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?55995-Bedford-MWC-restoration/page6 Quite happy with the result Cheers Richard
  15. PTO Assembled today... Control rod details, handle is made from a de-chromed tap handle, and the ball is made from a small doo handle. The thin rod is pulled up so the the lever can me nove to engage the PTO, it is sprun loaded so that it stays in place just about to start on the pump drive shafts (still looking for the pump)
  16. Hi Thanks for the photos, very nice tooling , I bet they are heavy. Using steel that thickness means that the pressed plate does not tend to warp. Cheers Richard
  17. HI The 'rib' pressings look very good, what tooling did you use for these ? Cheers Richard
  18. PTO re-assembled I think that the oil seal compression pad should be held in with studs and locknuts (will make some 1/4 BSF studs to suit) Made one of the control rods, just need to turn up the other and make a handle Also made a re-usable bypass filter as the ZS1 cartriges are hard to find. The base of the ZS1 is cut out so that the insert can be fitted. The insert consists of a 2.75" OD copper tube (eBay £9.99), a shaped end cap made from some scrap brass sheet, and a 2.75" drain plug (£5 from a local agricultural hardware suppliers). The tube in the picture was linked to a small compressor so that I could pressure test it (no leaks at 4Bar/60PSI). Apart from the old case of the ZS1, the flange on the inside of the ZS1 cartridge is re-used as the two brass pipe fittings screw into this. Inside the ZS1 there is a paper cartridge with metal end caps, the top end cap is trimmed in diameter and re-used so the replacement cartridge (from a Mercedes) fits nicely, the spring on the base of old ZS1 cartridge that holds it in place is re-used to make sure the replacement cartridge seals nicely. Little bit of filler at the base, undercoat on... Just need to paint it black. Overall very pleased with the result
  19. Hi A bit of a long shot, does anyone have any for sale, these will be used on my MWC restoration also need a Mono pump SC1 and other tank associated bits Cheers Richard
  20. New shafts for PTO Hope to re-assemble tommorrow
  21. Chassis surgury done, incorrect rear bumper removed, slowly getting ready for the chassis to be grit blasted after blasting. I can see how best to 'patch' in the rear extensions, fortunately they are not structral on a an MWC as there is no tow bar.
  22. Hi Just a thought... Many Landrovers use 10 spline half shafts, don't know what size yours is, the end flange on yours looks very similialr to a Lightweight. I will see if I can get some meaurements of a Landrover one tommorro. Cheers Richard
  23. Thanks Peter Additional photos and dimensions would be very usefu, I assume it was your restoration I was looking al. As Jeremy says they must restrict access during a re-build. Cheers Richard
  24. Hi Apart from banging your knees on the pintle (one reason why I removed mine). The second (main) reason was I am sure it is illegal to have a projection in front of the bumper, can't find the regulation at the moment, something to do with bull bars. In a similar vein, the rear towing pintle does protrude past the rear bumper but not the bumperettes, as the bumperettes are part of the rear bumper system, this is permissible. Hope I haven't opened a can of worms. Cheers Richard
