Hi, welcome in, who did you serve with ?
-
Try anyvan.co.uk, I have had so good help from there before and normally very cheap prices.
-
Chest rig would be worn on its own, as for webbing other than a double ammo pouch on the left any combo you want is fine as everyone tailors their webbing to work best for them or the task. The chest rig was issued for NI as at a check point ammo and a small amount of rations/water was all they needed, for field deployment you are expected to live out of your webbing for aprox 24hrs and often need to carry more to survive, be warned though the more pouches you have the more crap fills them half of which you never need.

Reg no will be the military number plate, I can't make it out from my iPad but it looks like ?? KJ 78 Which is correct for your Landy.
-
The only thing that can be used would be the NI chest rig as that is worn as is, to complete a set of plce you would need additional pouches and a yoke, the belt you have could possibly be utilized however the ammo pouch is useless due to having no loops fitted, it could have been done to allow it to be stitched to a patrol pack to give greater capacity/ easy access to smoke grenades or ammo.
-
First one is a radio pouch, the double one is a double mag pouch(holds 6 SA80 mags) has had the loops removed, the olive pouch is early plce either a utility or water bottle pouch, a NI chest rig and the last one I believe is private purchase, I'm not too sure on the belt or the other pouch.

question No2 cooker service kit?
mash replied to MiketheBike's question in I may be stupid, but......
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ex-Military-Cooker-No2-Mk2-Military-Stove-Modification-Kit-/141395598196?pt=UK_Collectables_Militaria_LE&hash=item20ebd59b74 Hope this helps. -
Try soaking it in brake fluid, sometimes an attempt to tighten can free it on the threads. I had a very stubborn ball joint to remove and soaking in plus gas (much better than wd40) heating it to cherry red then soaking in brake fluid, then spanner on and a few big hits either direction then a bit more of the above before just shocking it loose, a deadblow hammer is best for this job.
-
Awesome, thank you all for your replies. Time to get the needle and thread out.
-
Looking good, sticking with the older style weights looks better on these vehicles in my opinion as that is what they should have, and it's easier to spot if you loose one.
-
Yes it would be gearbox out, money wise it depends how handy with spanners you are, the box would be a simple design and could be done at home.
-
Possibly the shaft bearings in the gearbox.

Cheers Tiff, that's what I thought. Mash

Hi, I am starting to put my ww2 kit together and need some advice on the trf's used on the battledress. I know now we only wear the trf on the r/h side with the red section to the front, during ww2 I believe one was worn on each arm however I have seen conflicting images of the ww2 ones being worn some with the blue section to the front and others with the red to the front. Any advice or images greatly appreciated. Thanks Mash

Wooden frame/ insulated area and a pair of stretchers?
-
The army are now using transformers and this helps them blend in :cool2:
-
Yep defiantly the rear roller assy of the Drops LHS.

A few more images of the mod.

The steel pressed bonnet mod was approved and available as a kit through the supply chain and was used in UK/Germany bases as a replacement and fitted by REME, by the time this mod was out the fleet of vehicles used on operations had mainly converted to the new MAN family. I believe it came about as this was an easier and quick part to replace and remove where required. Armour modifications where I believe fitted by the REME and came as a kit.
-
That was a new bonnet design that had started to creep in whilst I was serving at my last unit, it was only used if the bonnet had been damaged and was not able to be repaired, it is only pressed steel and I believe it was only about 4 bolts that hold it on. Any external armour on Drops was large bags of protective material that was held on the cab with nuts and bolts, internally they had ballistic plates on the floor and around the seat.

Stop using easy start!! The engine will become addicted to it as it strips the oil from the cylinder walls meaning you will have to use it every time. These truck have a very reliable engine once maintained. If the engine fails to start check the fuel cut-off is fully home. If still no fuel check the lift pump as these can fail. looks like a nice project good luck.
