Hi Ian, I have had other working comitments so have not done much more on it than fixing the chassis. Iam building a new workshop this year so planning to come back to it when I have enough space for the resto. But I like what you do on yours, very inspiring.

A bit cheaper here Ian: https://www.vintagecarparts.co.uk/products/842-container-ignition-indicator-lamp

I have recently done the dash on my Standard Flying 12

Well done Simon, fantastic restoration. I wonder where you got he dash two-pin socket from, is it a replica?

Hi, I had the same set and got a barrel replica made. An original almost impossible to find. I have all the dimensions. If you are interested PM me.

Wow, fantastic example of craftmanship with a great sense for detail. No wonder he will not make any spare, so much work, all in brass, that would cost fortune to make these extra for sale.
Would be great if he could provide some basic dimensions for anyone to make their own though, I am surely capable to make a couple for myself 😉
How has he done the lid?

I will also follow this post with great interest, same as Alan I am also planning to make a couple of filters for my 180 gallon water bowser project. There seemed to be few attempts by various people to replicate this but I have never seen any output.

Richard are you also plannig to make the cast iron plate with Stellar company logo etc? This would be worth making in more examples as I am sure there would be many people interested. That would require borrowing the original filter from someone though.

Very nice kit Ian. Pitty that not affordable for me. Shall you have any other leftovers like the hose-pans or genuine taps, I might be interested.

Cheers,

Dusan

I am looking for a complete passenger door for Fordson WOT8 or WOT6. Any condition considered for a restoration.

Thanks for any offers.

Dusan

Wow what a set up! Quite a load at the back. considering the 25pdr weights over 1600kg.

Thanks for the pictures Tony.  Is that a kind of 25pdr portee on the first one? Could you please take a shaper shot of that one. Cheers.

Fabulous! Never seen or heard of the ladder project, very interesting.

Also like the factory pictures. Would there be a better detail of the spare wheel holder of WOT8 please?

Wow, these are absulutely superb Tony, thanks!!! Looking forward for more when you get the scanner working.

First picture shows the WOT8, one of the 868 going to Russia. Notice that grill modified for cold weather. Second and third picture would be from WOT6, nicely shows the AA hatch and the rear lights setup with socket. Not sure what the trucks in the port are? Looks like Austins or Bedfords to me, quessing from the petrol tank shapes.

Hi GTB MAN, I would be interested in any WOT8 and WOT6 pictures please. Thank you.

Nice pictures there, could any more be posted please. Very interested

Well at least you know now Simon. Something will turn up eventually. Good luck.

Hi Simon, welcome. Have you seen this? : http://milweb.net/classifieds/view_large.php?ad=94795&cat=8

PM sent regarding door pins....

Looking for a Bedford QLR wireless truck in good running condition to extend the collection of vehicles used by the Czechoslovak Armoured Brigade Group 1943-45. Any offers welcome, price accepted.

I know Ian how badly rotten your chassis was, much worse than mine. Athough not up-to-date picture, here is mine after replacing few sections, the front A frame had to be also replaced. As for the spares, I am looking for the hose-tray, at least one for a pattern. I will be replicating all the other missing parts such as fenders, the rear filter frame, front crate frame, pump holders etc. When the time comes I will appreciate some help with dimmensions...

Well done Ian! I got made mine too. First made a mistake on the centre hole diameter so had to weld in an insertion ring. But it is fixed now. Still a bit strugling with the chassis replacing all the rotten sections one by one, nearly there though :-)

All the best to The New Year!

Hi Duson Yes I have got a wheel for you in near perfect condition, best bet would be to drop it off at the W&P show if there's anybody that con collect it for you ?

I should have my bowser finished to bring along to the show too :drive:

Thats great Ian, thanks. I will think something up. Several of my friends are going to the UK for Artillery training with The Garrison group during the Easter time so maybe I could ask someone to collect. Anyway, will be in touch in advance.

Nice buckets you have there. Cant wait to see your bowser finished with all the stuff on :-)

Looking good Ian. Cant wait to see your bowser finished, it is just so good inspiration to finish mine.

Have you managed to find the wheel?

Cheers,

Dusan

Hello Ian,

excellent find again. Yes please, interested in some spares. I will email you. Thanks.

Dusan

Nice project. We have one in the club, I could put you through to the owner. Here is his Humber.

And here is an inspiration, recent start up of the engine: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=vb.385137518234297&type=2#!/photo.php?v=535434109871303&set=vb.385137518234297&type=3&theater
