    Jeep 'Difficulty' that May also affect Others!

    in American Vehicles

    Posted

    12 hours ago, Jessie The Jeep said:

    You could cut the seat frame where the side rails curve upward and extend them perhaps an inch or two without cutting into the wheel arch. Mine shown below is standard, but leg length, not belly size is my problem. Since I have very long lower and upper legs compared to my torso size, I drive with my thighs almost parallel to the steering wheel to get my feet on the pedals, with all my weight taken by my spine and coccyx, rather than supported by my thighs. I have to climb in putting one knee under the steering column and sliding across because my knees extend too far beyond the column once seated.

    💥💥💥💥💥💥 NOTICE OF ADVICE TO ALL RE-ENACTORS 💥💥💥💥💥💥

     

    JB WAS INVITED TO ATTEND A SEMINAR ON COUNTY EVENTS REGARDING SHOWS WHERE DEACTIVATED WEAPONS ARE CARRIED OR ARE FOR SALE.

     

    IN ATTENDANCE WERE THE POLICE, FIRE AND HEALTH AND SAFETY OFFICERS.

     

    THE POLICE INFORMED THE ATTENDEES THAT BECAUSE OF THE CURRENT POLITICAL CLIMATE A SPECIAL TEAM OF NON-UNIFORMED OFFICERS WILL VISIT THE EVENTS UNANNOUNCED. THEY HAVE THE POWER TO CHALLENGE ANY INDIVIDUAL OR FIRE ARM STALL HOLDER TO PRODUCE THE DEACTIVATION CERTIFICATE FOR ALL WEAPONS.

    ANYONE WHO CANNOT COMPLY WILL HAVE THESE WEAPONS CONFISCATED AND HELD UNTIL THE CORRECT DOCUMENTATION IS PRODUCED.

     

    THE FIRE SERVICE ALSO STATED THAT ANY SPARE GAS OR PROPANE CYLINDERS NOT CONNECTED TO EQUIPMENT WILL BE REMOVED TO A SAFE AREA AWAY FROM THE PUBLIC.

     

    💥💥💥💥💥💥 JUST BE AWARE 💥💥💥💥💥

     

     

    As far as I am aware you do not need a deac cert present as long as the deac proof markings are on weapons etc and you only need them if selling etc (although new legislation reqs the new deac regs) having said this I usually carry certs anyway

    Hi

    I was looking for £300 for canvas and frame. Shipping extra, but I've no idea how much, although I could take to malvern.

     

    regards, Doug

     

    Hi Doug, thank's for replying, I am in North Wales, what are you asking for a tent?, Regards, Gareth

    Hi,

     

    I have a glass insulator set available if your interested.

     

    Doug[

     

    QUOTE=Chris Suslowicz;478318]I have not seen the the block type before, but that looks to be only for a receiver aerial.

     

    The glass insulator with the metal mounting is RAF, I think, and has a metal pipe on the back, and a knurled nut on the aerial end. They were used on aerial junction boxes (Co-axial cable to wire aerial, etc., for ground stations but probably had other uses.)

     

    The two glass bowls... are for the 'blackout box' on the front wall of a radio box. They fit into two Tufnol or Paxolin squares about 0.25" (5mm) thick, and have butterfly (wing) nuts on the end to attach wire feeders (to variometer inside and aerial base outside).

     

    There is a complete unit on eBay, but I will make no comment regarding the price! :wow:

    It does have useful photographs of the assembly.

     

    Regards,

    Chris.

Anyway enough of war and peace there!! hope to pick your brains after i get the jeep as it will need some stuff done to it over time.

    European BAN for assault weapons proposed - EVEN IF PERMANENTLY DEACTIVATED

    in Legislation, Licenses & Registration

    Rob makes a very important point here. If this is about taking dangerous firearms off of the street, making live weapons into De-Ac's is by far the most effective way of doing that. Those in this hobby who buy these De-Ac's are generating the removal of many thousands of weapons which are already out there and turning them into a harmless part of history (harmless unless of course you drop one on your foot !).

     

    Perhaps its a point which along with all of the other good points being made needs pushing home and perhaps the powers that be should be encouraging it not trying to stop it.

    It's a good point,but the reason there is so much agro is that most of the euro don't have our high standardstandards. Our deacs are butchered to death, but others seem reluctant to follow us. There was an opportunity in 2007 for them to do it, but no! Now we have the risk of losing our hobby.

    hi,

     

    The most obvious starting point is somewhere like ancestry.co.uk and work through the census records. There are a lot of other records which would be helpful. I'm from south wales myself and now am into the problem of Jones marrying Jones which makes life a bit more difficult !!!

    Yes. As said dogs are allowed but please be aware of the battle that takes place and FH70 will be going off at 1pm. Of course the usual keep on lead and clear up any poop 😊

     

     

    Thanks, As a responsible dog owner I carry Poop bags to clean up after them.

     

    They have been to events and the bangs don't bother them.
