Hello, Sorry only go the two – and it took 6 months to track them down! If I see any more I will let you know. Thanks Will

Hello, anyone going to the Dallas digout? Will

Mark, I have 3 but they are all very rusty and would need a lot of metal work? How bad is the one you have? Will

Brooky, I think that the Tirfor is rated at 1.5 tonnes? Will

Phil, Sorry don’t know the cable thickness – there is no cable with my unit, I may be able to find out. I am not sure about if every Munga was fitted with a winch – I understand that they would have originally all come from the factory fully equipped. However if they were fitted with a parachute hook then it was not possible to fit the winch and bits under the seat. My Munga did have a parachute hook but I have decided to rebuild it without and fit the accessorizes as I feel it will be a better presented vehicle? I have attached a picture off the equipment list.

Hello, Here are the pictures of the Tirfa winch. The winch is stored in the seat box and the cable drum is stored in the inside of the spare wheel.

One on my relations got her first PC (Laptop) at the age of 75 she is going great guns! Does anyone know what is mounted on the rear of the bulkhead on a Munga 8?

Brooky, My Munga 8 did originate from the yard nr. Kimbolton. I purchased it from a third party who purchased it along with another vehicle some years previous. The yard was run by a gentleman by the name of Sid Starling. Sid (Sadly now no longer with us) was the local scrap man and general wheeler dealer, who I believe originated from the East end? I have been searching for photo’s for some time without success, so if you have any I would be very pleased to have a copy. When you visited the yard did you make a purchase of anything?

Are you sure it was a model T fire engine?

No but can do some this week

These are for 2 over centre clips that hold a handle for a Tirfa winch, the winch is stored in the seat box under the driver’s seat.

Was the lead loading either side of the bonnet? Did you remove the lead? If so how? Will

Hello, Hoping I get mine done by next Christmas - I have been on it 5 years already and had to replace floor in the front and the back, could only get 2 front wings so had to make the rest. Will

Hello, So when do you think it will be on the road? Do you know where it came from originally? Will
-
Hello, How long have you had the Munga? Did you have to do much welding? Does the engine run? Will
-
Looks good you are way ahead of me with your restoration and I have to do jobs round the house this weekend! I had to shorten my spade handle by about 150mm to make it fit correctly. What colour have you gone for? Is it Nato Green or another shade? It looks a good colour. I may have some idea on the brackets on the RHS if Andrew cannot help. Will

Phil, Thank you - I have 2 Munga’s both 8 seaters, the one pictured here is a 1966 German unit last used as a cable layer in Göttingen (1 ½ Hrs south of Hannover), I have owned this one for about 6 years. I am sure that the spade pictured here is the correct one for the vehicle. Will
