  1. There was a post earlier about a Fox photo gallery, I can't find it anywhere now so maybe we should start a new one. Here's a start:
  2. The target is set at £50 a month: http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/misc.php?do=donate Chris
  3. I have done many miles in CVRTs on the roads on my own. It does depend on which vehicle you're driving as to what visibility you have, but I think if you have to rely on a commander then perhaps you shouldn't be on the public roads with it? Good mirrors are a must. As is a backup plan for when it breaks down, because at some point it will.
  4. I think you'll find Lincoln is the birthplace of the Tank: http://www.visitlincoln.com/about-lincoln/history-heritage/birthplace-of-the-tank As I now live in Lincoln I suggest moving the event up here! Chris
  5. Is that not where the starting handle goes? Handle through the hole?
  6. Bit late, it was given away in December.
  7. There is a nice one in the yard at Withams, worth a call?
  8. RRC8692 http://www.thexmod.com/item_detail.asp?id=4165
  9. Robin, The slave socket shown is standard fitment on Wolf. Chris
  10. It's the DMC, domestic management code, for TUM(HS) and TUL(HS) vehicles. Like 9CVT for CVR(T) parts etc
  11. Sad to see them looking like that, they were tidy a few years ago when going through Withams tender sales.

  13. ABRO was the Army Base Repair Organisation. It is now DSG. They do all the rebuilds and repairs on MoD kit. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_Base_Repair_Organisation I guess the engine is a 2.5 NAD?
  14. The small welded plate is the hull number not the contract number. Given the date I am guessing it's going to be xx CA xx?
  15. Mark - the £600 price is for the track adjuster on eBay.
  16. David Brown TN15D. http://www.davidbrown.com/business-units/defence-6/products/tn15-96
  17. Hi Shane, There are a number of diesel Scorpions at Withams but none have a gearbox. Currently there is no source for a diesel gearbox unless you buy a complete Spartan or Sultan at the same time and break it for spares. The gearboxes are worth more than the rest of the vehicle so you need deep pockets. Chris
  18. Hi Charlie, I'm not sure, they all look the same. I had a few wolf ones which I sold a few years ago, I'd have to dig out some photos. Chris
  19. Charlie, They are the same but the Wolf one has no tool brackets etc. Chris
  20. Barrie, Fair enough, I just looked at the website, including the gallery and saw only FV430s. Chris
  21. An FV439 is neither large or a tank! Chris
