Hi,

Does anyone have a drawing for a Bedford MW full exhaust and it's routing / attachement points? Mine finishes at the silencer midway under the vehicle and i'm going to get it extended to it's full (original) length. All help appreciated as i want to get this done prior to Normandy. Thanks Richard

Hi all,

Due to a couple of drop outs i potentially have space for 1 - 2 Military Vehicles on our forthcoming trip to Normandy.

We sail on Sunday 1st June, staying in Portsmouth Hilton the night before and return on Saturday 7th June.

We are camping at Port En Bessin.

I have a ferry place booked and 2 camping spaces, so if more then one MV want's to come you will need to book your ferry.

If your interested, or need more details please PM me.

Thanks

Richard

Hi Guys,

Are there any "whats on and when" guides for this years Normandy commemorations? We have a small group going again this year and would like to start thinking about where we should be each day.

Staying at Port en Bessin 1/6 - 7/6.

Thanks

Richard

I have recovery through my bank....Barclays.

Don't know if that helps?

Richard

What vehicles used the 650 x 16 Bar Grip tyres?

Thanks

Richard

Hi guys,

My oil pressure warning light keeps flicking on and off. I have good oil pressure so guess it's the pressure sensor/switch?

Assume this is a straight forward job? What do i need and who has them?

Thanks

Richard

I need a good used T84 Cluster Gear. Anybody got one they don't need please? Thanks Richard

I have one spare that i might part with if it helps? PM me.

Richard

I will be there between 1/6 and 7/6, camping at Port en bessin. Let me know if anything is arranged and i will do my very best to attend.

Richard.

Ha ha....yes, Glen was my co-pilot. His Jeep was still recovering from its journey from Chelmsford!!

My MW does have a front reg plate. It folds up under the bumper and i never pull it down. Always there though if i get questioned. Like you, my Jeep does not have a front reg plate and i've not been stopped once in my 25 years ownership.

You Humber looks superb Julian....a real credit to you.

Had a run out with GPW Rookie this weekend to a local wartime airfield to me....RAF Wratting Common. Nice to see a memorial and some of the original buildings (although not very many now).

Thats great guys.....thanks.

Richard

Guys,

Quick question save me searching....how much Anti-freeze does an MW's cooling system need?

Thanks

Richard

Restored to running some years ago and now with IWM in London.

Ahh...nice to know its still about. Thanks.

When i was a kid i remember seeing what i think was a Grant being used as a Gate Guardian at Bassingbourn Barracks, Hertfordshire. It was there for many years. Love to know what happened to it??

Radek is exactly right though. This is the sort of price that you see them for at BeaulieuQUOTE]

 

Like i said....i will take as many as you can find at that price!

 

I will look forward to my first shipment :laugh:

Back to your question, the price start from 20GPB for each. But you have to wait for right time!

I will have as many as you can supply for that price!!!

Hi Colin,

As with everything else it seems nowadays these covers are becoming extremely hard to find. I had to wait a long time for mine and ended up paying quite a bit more then the pair you have been offered. Remember, both Lucas and Butler made British vehicle lights and BO covers and there not interchangable, which reduces your chances even further if you trying to find the correct ones for existing light fittings. The later ones are much more pratical as they can still be used when it gets dark by raising the flap. Otherwise you need to carry around a spare set of standard lenses or only drive during the day!! They really do improve the look of your vehicle though i think.

On the subject of Canvas...does anyone know if the MW was ever fitted wartime with a flat cover for the rear body?

So what happened to this MW project?

John,

There doesnt seem to be holes behind the drivers seat either?

Richard

Thanks Larry, appreciate your comments.

The "M41" was found under layers of paint by the previous owner, so its original to the truck. The RAF serial number is correct too. Yes, i love the colour and as you say good to see it correct rather then the post war Blue that most seem to choose.

Hi John,

I will need to check at the weekend but i dont think so. I assume you mean the floor? The bracket i have has two fixing holes at the top and one at the bottom.

Cheers

Richard

John,

As far as the Fire Extinguisher is concerned, is it mounted in the centre of the battery box lid or offset to the drivers side? A photo i have suggests the later? My original box top has no holes or they have been filled and painted over many times? Also, is the bracket fixed on with screws or bolts and nuts?

Thanks

Richard

I loose interest immediately when i see "POA" on a For Sale listing. Why do people do that?? :confused:
