  1. I guess this is not the same one as looks prettier than yours http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WW2-1943-British-Military-Vickers-Machine-Gun-Tool-Box-Black-Leather-Metal-/121143575702?pt=UK_Collectables_Militaria_LE&hash=item1c34b84496#ht_2692wt_838
  2. yep, Its supposedly for a Clansman installation. In what I have no idea. I think I will give up running a BV as looks like more trouble than its worth. So now I am just sourcing the bits to power up my ancillary stuff, penthouse lights (plug into this one), and a few other gadgets. Having a nice box like this keeps everything neat and tidy I found the cables that plug into the four outlets on ebay but haven't found so far the large input cable that goes in the top
  3. Looks a lot like this one http://www.armouredvehicles.co.za/nonquaiAPC.htm "The Nonquai APC is alternately known as the Uklebe or Falcon. It was used by the SAPS (South African Police Service) for riot control, and also to protect high-risk installations."

  4. damn I need glasses......... My favourite vehicle that Monty found was the Marmon-Herrington armoured cars..... but still looking for this one..... wheels look way to small for offroad
  5. Yep this one I'll use to power all the bits and pieces I got. The big plug on this one is for the 12v input. The outlets are standard 2 pin. Not sure if this is a later replacement to the 3 outlet Land Rover one or fits into something completely different. When I was talking call signs on the net it was all US stuff.
  6. It's got a wire cutter on the roof, so most likely military or riot control as opposed to being a armoured car for money
  7. Sounds like the BV idea is problematic. I got the cables so it would be useful to get the socket though as I gan use them on all the other plug in bits I have. I just got this box. Has anyone got the 75amp feeder cable as I didnt see any on ebay just now? [ATTACH=CONFIG]79397[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]79398[/ATTACH]
  8. I realise ages ago but was just discussing this box in another thread, do you still have them?
  9. Cheers Is there a part number for one of these? Reminds me someone in here rebuilt a Foden recently
  10. Is it any of the ones pictured on this page? http://www.trucksplanet.com/catalog/model.php?id=592 I been looking and looking not the tool but a AEC double decker bus recovery [video=youtube;ox-57JMI2eM]
  11. As said above they look like 109 shackles. Some people do it as gives you an extra bit in height. but as said the spacers are missing on one set. not sure from the picture if that is the steel bushing from the spring or some dumb idea of a washer. If you made the front look like the rear, with spacers, I would leave it I would check the bolts though as they appear to long so might not be correct quality
  12. Ok I got a BV vessel and cables as the missus likes her coffee :red: Is there a junction box they plug into? I suppose ditto for the penthouse lights? Hopping they are all little boxes instead of hard mount sockets, but if that's the case I need the numbers for those
  13. Are they the correct way round as LED's have a positive/negative side? I was really dubious about LEDs as you always see segments of them blown on trucks, cars etc. But same as everything in life, you get what you pay for. The US military is going LED and this mob supply it. My nephew has a 30"lightbar on his truck and you wont get change from $900 bucks [video=youtube;wuIU-Mg0EMM]
  14. :-D:-D with the correct bait you can always get a bite We got a few other South African's in here and you have some really nice junk yards
  15. so from the other thread, something caught on the prop and tore through the hull? Looks like a good reason the thicken the bit of plate there Any idea of her fate?
  16. Great for trailers also as you can fit 12/24v LEDs so they will run on either vehicle
  17. Regarding the very, very long outage [ATTACH=CONFIG]79373[/ATTACH]
  18. yes I recognise the plate number from various pictures I have seen in here. I don't know maybe we can send get well cards from around the world to cheer him up?????????
  19. G'day They make wine in South Africa? What type of processes do you design, petro/chem by chance?
  20. Will make a nice letter box stand what it was used for no idea
  21. ditto, as I am very curious how big it is going to be and as I am a few miles away I can only see the piccies oops I forgot to mention videos also would be appreciated.
