Is it not the one Rex normally has at W&P?

I didn't think the RAF used M38s or CJ jeeps?

That does sound a bit high. The photo shows the cable, on our Spartan it was loose when we got it and a bit frayed. I have put a new one on now.

Chris

Tim,

You can adjust the idle speed by tensioning the throttle cable. Try disconnecting it from the accelerator pedal and see if the engine speed drops. It should idle at around 650rpm, if it's too high you can adjust the cable at either end.

Chris

I have seen these for sale in the past, both at Withams and Johnsons of Leeds. I'll see if I can find some photos.

Try the cvrt appreciation society on Facebook.

The EU are not the only group to destroy historical objects and enforce crazy rules on people, the other lot are called ISIS.

My Scimitar was in the Gulf with QDG.

I suggested that the Shielder needed to be measured with a tape measure because of this:

HorseyGXR is total driving.

The gearbox uses the same oil as the engine.

Reading through myself I agree, MOT tester was not doing a good job.

I just ordered these http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/331342400281

I think Mike is correct.

Hi Darren,

Welcome to the forum. Where in the midlands are you? There are plenty of Ferrets in this neck of the woods!

Chris

I'm not sure I understand the difference between CVRW and CVRT J60 engines, but can you use this in your Fox?

The engine is essentially the same, but the ancillaries are different. You can take a T engine and turn it in to a W, or vice versa. It has been done many times, if you already have all the bits it's easy.

Hi Dan,

I have an M151A2 too. You can buy most parts in the Germany, but it is sometimes cheaper to get them from the US and pay postage and duty. I have bought a few bits from the guys over at the G838 forum (http://www.g838.org/index.php) and quite a lot of bits from the US ebay site.

I fitted electronic ignition to mine, with new spark plugs and leads. You won't need the seat belts, and nobody have ever questioned the lighting on mine. I fitted some Land Rover halogen headlamp units with 24V bulbs. Look on ebay, there are loads on there. You have a main beam light on the dash, it is one of the lights in the instrument panel, but it is red.. again nobody has ever questioned mine.

Are you sure it is a '68? I ask because the A2 was not introduced until 1970. There is usually a metal tag on the horn with a date on it, providing it is original it should give an idea of the build date.

Chris

Thanks Robin, I was going to post that link myself.

Chris

I too have tried to contact them using the form on the website with no reply. Perhaps they have been getting a lot of email, or maybe they don't have the answers yet.

Hi Mick,

If it was a 2/4 they would be flat, so looks like a 2/3 to me... Is that a fixed fire extinguisher system? That would make it a 2/3M.

Chris

Dougy,

I won't be at Malvern this year, perhaps we can meet up at Stoneleigh?

The catcher bag looks like the one for the chain gun in the Sabre. The other 2 boxes which say 'dummy inverter fitted' are for the Fox/CVRT night sight.

Chris

Hi Dougy,

Is this one available?

It's for a CVRT intercom.

Thanks,

Chris

P.S. I think the boxes in your scrap pile are American.

Radiacs were fitted to CVR(T) and CVR(W)... the Fox turrets were all wired for them. The device is fitted to a post which bolts to the top of the turret. I have even see the actual Radiac bit once or twice.
