HSC update

Yes I do Adrian, I figured for ease of work/trouble shooting any electrical issues (possibly) down the road, I added some color into it, the majority of the wiring will be covered up with the wire covering anyway.

More HSC updates, interior all painted, using post war jeep gauges until my correct gauges and speedo get back from rebuild, new wiring harness going back in, all the fuse panels etc were sandblasted to get the copper nice and clean, then repainted (looking for a brass tag for my CAV control board), within a week or so the engine should be going back in, exterior prepped for painting then a respray, then the rest of the interior fighting compartment parts will e put back in, wireless shelf etc.

Some more pics of the restoration.. engine rebuilt (new pistons and rings, new head bolts made, new head gasket and crankshaft balanced), engine compartment repainted, fighting compartment repainted (after all the new bins and components produced),,,soon the engine will be going back in, then the new wiring will go back in, has already been cut, wiring harness made, (as you can see I used some multi covered cloth wiring for the dash ,this is so any issues can be found quickly, the other wiring is black with some type of stripe etc) the exterior will then be repainted int the proper color and the correct tyres put back on...

Looks like a wireless shelf of some sort..

Bump, still looking!!!

GOD SPEED!!! John McAleese, the special forces soldier who led the dramatic raid that ended the 1980 Iranian embassy seige in London has died, government ministries said Sunday. A no-nonsense Scot with a giant drooping moustache, "Mac", who was in his early 60s, died on Friday in Thessaloniki in Greece. His son Serjeant Paul McAleese, 29, was killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan two years ago as he tried to help a fatally injured comrade. Mac's daughter said he never got over the loss. "We can confirm the death of Mr McAleese in Greece on August 26 and are providing assistance to his next of kin at this difficult time," a Foreign Office spokesman said. A Ministry of Defence spokesman said: "We are aware of the death of John McAleese, a hero who served his country bravely and professionally in a military career that spanned many years. "Our thoughts are with his family and friends." McAleese's daughter Hayley, 28, said the former Special Air Service (SAS) sergeant never got over the death of his son. "I am sure the grief and stress he had suffered had a bearing on what has happened," she told reporters. "He is now reunited with his son. Two great heroes taking their place in heaven." McAleese spent 23 years in the army, including 17 in the SAS. In one of the defining events of the decade in Britain, millions watched live on television as McAleese and his team, dressed head to toe in black, stormed the Iranian embassy to end a six-day siege. Six armed Iranian separatists had taken over the plush 16 Prince's Gate mission, taking 26 people hostage. Five were released in exchange for minor concessions, but on the sixth day, they killed one hostage and threw his body out the front door. On prime minister Margaret Thatcher's orders, the SAS went in, abseiling from the roof, blowing out the windows in a huge explosion and storming inside. They rescued all but one of the remaining hostages and killed five of the six separatists. The only gunman to survive concealed himself among the hostages. Once identified by a freed captive, some reports suggest the SAS were prepared to shoot him dead on the spot. He served 27 years in a jail.

Very nice, would like to find one to add to my collection, soon very soon another Humber will be in the mix!!!

Adrian, I do know the type that I need, all of the ones for the LR's etc have the switch on the unit, the ones used in the HAC and HSC had a seperate switch next to the unit. I will end up just using one that is very similar with the switch on it. I have all of the correct gauges, just need to send them off to be redone. I am using new post war ones until I get my other ones back. STILL CHASING THE PLM!!!!!

Correct Speedo Current Speedo

Well all of the interior goodies that were missing have been painstakenly reproduced (minus a few ones that will be made after she is on the road), the drivers port was made from scratch and turned out beautiful!! Fabricated the tyre pump holder and oil can holder for the engine compartment. I still need to find a proper speedo and wiper motor. The engine was a complete rebuild with 0 hours on the clock now, new pistons/rings, gaskets, crank shaft balanced etc. Generator, starter were all rebuilt. It has all new cloth coverered wiring and I redid the instrument panel with colored wiring for trouble shooting. Proper tyres were found and will be on soon. The engine compartment is getting a wipedown then a respray and the engine will go back in. Then the interior will get a respray and then on to the exterior.. After a 1+ year rebuild, I am hoping to have her on the road by the end of the year!!!! Still have to find a proper radiator that will work and modify the fittings and brackets, the one that was in it had the wrong side hose attachment and made the engine have heating problems... http://s141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/lssah2025/1944 Humber Scout Car Mk II/?albumview=slideshow
