If you are a Geman citizen , and you would want to drive a historic vehicle over 3,5 ton , then you need a C license. If you are a UK citizen driving a German registered vehicle , then you also would need a C classed driving license .

Richard the bracket it self is on the trailer , but the mounting piece for the rim on my Canadian trailer is missing , on the british it is usually another hub mounted on this bracket.

10-50x13 tyres where fitted on the British versions .

the Canadian trailers had 10-50x16 tires on standard 16"split rims . the brake set up is done with Ford parts , Ford master cilinders , and 4 , 3 ton Ford rear brake cilinders in Ford Hubs . some had a retrofitted tow hook on the rear to be able to tow another 7 1/2 ton trailer .

The British ones where cable operated , and the Canadian version Air over hydraulic . Parts are difficult , I am still looking for the bracket for the spare wheel to mount it with on the frame , or even pictures would do .

rear canvas looks as if it came from a 15CWT CMP truck.

Andy ,

about the price for that Auctioned Jeep , If you look at this Jeep in regards of originality , it is not a good Example ,it is changed a bit too MB configuration , but maybe only the chassis is MB . It looks as if it needs a full rebuilt , and that will cost another 6000,- , so finally you end up for a decent Jeep again in the region of 16000,-plus hours TLC .

I think a vehicle which is quality wise done up right , will also fetch top range money , as mentioned before , there are not many people anymore who want to put the time in to restoring a vehicle .

beware , Canadian rims have 2 long studs , and the valve hole is in a different position , you also can`t asemble a rim from a British and a Canadian half .

Later Chev`s have it under the footwell at the co drivers side, so it was not so prone to damage.

Ruxy , in those years there where less running tanks then now , the colectors scene only started in the beginning of the 80ies , the MAP vehicles where still in use by NATO armies , so what was restored where vehicles which had already a hard civy life .

All the tanks which apeared in the film are still alive , the the M4A4firefly , 105 mm vvss , 76w HVSS, and 76 VVSS, where Belgian army , the 105 VVSS , dozer chassis , and all the burning wrecks are Dutch army , even the burning M10 achiles is back to running condition again.

There used to be Austin 10 engines in these pumps if I am correct .

Danny your pioneer tool holders look correct to me , I have seen more roughly made ones in the past .

The volume of 2 chains is too much for the box , I don`t think they carried them with them all the time .

Jeremy , In had a look at the panels yesterday , Would it be OK if I put paper on the mesh , and rub with a pencil over it ?

I can borrow you one of mine

The battery box is an inheretance from the O series cabs , and they have the extinguisher mounted on the box .

I have seen early MW`s pictures with the wing nuts on the sides instead of on the front and rear for the top lid , does anybody know till when this was done?

this is the roof part from the QLR.

The Chassis number is 8072

I will make a picture tonight from the RAF version tonight , these come from a QLR roof , and are mounted on a plate together with a rubber aerial socket , and from there to the glass rubber junction block.

Thanks Richard , I never worked on Post war vehicles , so that is wy I didn`t recognise.

thanks , I wil check number tonight , think it was a 3 digit number .

Does anybody recognize this model water pump?

This is my restored 10cwt trailer, it has post war number 80 ZA 72, Is there a way finding out it`s wartime X number ?

These are pictures from the glass bowls one is mounted single , and the other is with a glass bowl for on inside of a body and one for outside.

The block is for the interior , rubber aerial and glass bowl .

Anybody any ideas?

thanks chris , I will take some pictures from what I have .

Does anybody know how the aerials where connected to the 19set?

On a QLR there is the rubber aerial foot , and a glass bubble next to it , and inside there is then a junction block with engraved glass and rubber under the connectors , how is this connected to the set , and How is it then done on a MWR , should these also have a glass Insulator?
