    Drive them! It's not exactly far is it?
  2. sirhc
    Very High Frequency. It usually means it had Clansman radios.

    Looks like an earlier style cvrt idler wheel. Chris

    Some more updated photos...
  5. sirhc
    The photo is much too old for Bowman. It's Clansman but I don't know what radio it is for.

    It is possible to change them with the engine and gearbox in place, I've done it!

    Hi Paul - please post some photos of your Scorpion! Chris
  8. sirhc
    In service photos are always interesting. Here it is when it was a Scorpion acting as a wedding car! Chris

    Jules, Lots of threads on this, they won't sell you less than a container full, they want £200 or so per tyre and they are not marked for use on our roads. I think Jack was talking to them a while back but gave up, like I did and a few others who tried. If you do manage to get some in the country, I would be interested. Chris

    It might not have been used, but someones been chewing those screws!
  11. sirhc
    Yes, same one, not an MoD diesel conversion. Chris

    Scimitars... and they are both still in service. Chris
  13. sirhc
    I've never seen a manufacturers code like than on British stuff, but it's very common on US stuff so I'd say it's American in origin.

    The Scimitars have been in constant use for 30 years, a lot of the hulls are in a poor state with cracking etc. They kept some of the best Sabre hulls to use to re-hull the Scimitars which were beyond economic repair. I'm guessing with Scimitar 2 coming along they are getting rid of some of the good Sabre hulls now too in the latest tender. Chris

    I think they are pretty much all the Austin version, the RR ones are quite rare.
  16. sirhc
    Yes, that's the answer
  17. sirhc
    But there's still something else interesting about it....
  18. sirhc
    The hull is mine protected, but it's not to theatre entry standard. I don't know who's commanding it either.
  19. sirhc
    I saw this on Plain Military, hopefully Tony won't mind me posting here... Question: Why is this one interesting? Chris
  20. sirhc
    You can do it through the EMLRA... there's a form to fill in that they send you when you join.

    What's the reward? The easiest thing to do is get the Merlin report which will tell you all you need to know. Chris
  22. sirhc
    As long as you don't touch the gearbox the alignment should be ok. The shims are only fitted to the gearbox. Chris
  23. sirhc
    I'll try and remember to scan it. Chris
  24. sirhc
    Robin, You need the common items parts list for the gearbox bits. As far as the engine swap goes, it is that easy. Disconnect everything, un do 4 bolts and lift it out. Chris

    Peter, I'll send you the Merlin report and you can do a write up for Mark! Chris
