Next, n/s strip and repair. Remove woodwork first, most of which needs replacing. Job for later. 

Remove all the old rusty steelwork, and replace with new.

Well, not updated this for awhile. So cracking on again, started to repair rear body steelwork. O/s first then strip n/s to do same. Also stripping back flaky paint from the chassis and coating in a good cover of red oxide. Favourite tool is the needle descaler.

Quality rot as you can see.

And in with the new.

Keruing Wood may be worth looking at for replacements.

My no3 runs fine on petrol .

Tried paraffin in one of mine, burnt OK. 

Hi Rob, welcome aboard. 

Would anyone know what the RAL or BS number is for the colour of the no 2 and 3 cookers. Not the original vulgar green but later one. Looking at colour charts the closest it seems to me is BS 284 Spruce Green, but is it?

TIA

Simon

Free wheels on my wagon, jus' keep rolling along........

Dear All,

The pic of the prop shaft shows why I think that it is too long and would benefit from a centre bearing.  The Martian is good for 30 MPH but any more risks ripping out the back of the transfer box as I have observed in previous posts.

Well done for spotting the crack in the ball joint.  The ball on the right of the two looks to be bent!  Is it?  What on earth has happened to the vehicle to cause that damage.

The lwb cargo truck does have a centre bearing.

Also one next to Tower Bridge.

Nice one, looks a tidy motor.

This should help Terry.  From an original user handbook that is now loose leaf as the staples have rusted away.

Are you in the UK and do you have any pics of your truck ?

Rob, Martian ones are different. These are what I have. Still looking for the locknuts though.

I'll have a shed hunt at weekend, feeling I've got some lurking somewhere.

Is it a palm coupling union Rob?

Looking good Sam.

I have a load of ht leads that I don't know what they fit. Four types of lead.

Firstly, these are approx 23" long, braided under the black covering.

Secondly, these are approx 14.5" long.

Thirdly, these are approx 10" to the elbow, all are marked 1 on the band. I think maybe Land Rover?

Lastly these two are approx 24" long.

All help appreciated.

Dave had some lovely vehicles on show.

Have you tried www.cvrtparts.com 

Thanks for all the replies.

What width are the rods? This would give size of bore which helps  a lot.

Will measure diameter.

Thanks for that.

I've had these in the shed for quite a while, can anyone shed(no pun intended) any light on which gun they were for, or a general use item. Several different pieces, size etc.
