is there any chance you can ever put the bit that's missing on the back back on

An interesting question. Only one way to find out for sure. Today was the day. I think I got away with it. :banana:

Thanks for posting the link draganm!

if it sits directly on chassis you could have problems with gear change also

the biggest problem with the club insurance type people is when you need them most you are dealing with call handlers who have set questions to ask when dealing with your call no knowledge whats so ever of your situation or the vehicle they are being asked to deal with. My advise if you want to go it alone is to ring up a recovery operator who has knowledge of military vehicles and ask what its liable to cost to go home get pulled of motorway etc and set up a cash account. Bear in mind it don't have to be in their area they have the contacts. then in your moment of dire need give them a ring. One such type has been mentioned many others are available stay clear of those that waffle on. Little tip take note and see which private operators are actually towing currently serving Mod vehicles about or doing recoveries for the Mod very few are done by the Mod anymore

cranes have a subframe usually easily deep enough to clear that

For information only Apart from Autohome there are manyclubs offering breakdown and recovery services for larger vehicles. Some aresubscription and some are pay for use. As far as I am aware none of thesecompanies have any vehicles of their own. All rely on a data base of recoveryvehicle operators who they call out. These recovery operators have inter traderates that they will work for. Any of these operators will if contacted bewilling to quote at set rates for any job anywhere in the country. What I was suggestingis rather than setting up a new club service merely get your name on the database offering the unique services you can provide. Also means at a stroke youcan provide recovery at competitive rates anywhere not just locally. As anexample today we have had two jobs one was airlines in greater London the otherwas a sat nav job in county Durham we took both on and sorted within 1.5 hrs atcompetitive rates everyone happy

Hi I think if you are thinking of offering a recovery service you going to have to do better than that reply to get a good take up. the question was can you recover an 8 wheel drops with a load on its back yes or no My reply would be of course sir where do you want it

came across these 4 aluminium landing craft. Not for the Dutch navy what other purpose no idea

I am fascinated but who but military would need them they look new let us know when you have answer

just a quick one I think but not 100 per sure A long is agent for auto home what ever all the original poster is trying to achieve is all ready in place if they take you on they will find some one who can do job. So rather than start new club offer to those clubs services that exist an extension to there services eg obsolete tyre sizes chance of unobtainable spares/ or even if they want to be dragged up the motorway on a pole at 35mph

so I guess you are saying con man or am I reading this wrong best way to say something is to come out with it hate people who suggest things and say nothing

And what you saying

No if there is an old tunnel down there chances are 100% there is some thing in it if only track. The thing you have to ask is there a tunnel

the lock wire holes make the fittings look like aircraft types although never having worked on aircraft I cant be sure. Martian power steering pump had similar fittings and sure that pump was areo industry

Agree with Tony B the power of suggestion gets people going like nothing else on earth and its fuelled by those who want to believe. I just hope the aircraft museum don't throw a rake of money in looking for a rare aircraft that was giving covering fire while guarding it when it disappeared. War or not how the hell can you lose a train

Quite correct yes there are exemptions BUT none are any use or apply to the bulk of the readers on this forum. There is certainly none that would allow civilians to attend meetings etc. The fact it is registered does not automatically mean it is legal to ride about in it. This thread has about been done to death. Read all the other threads on the subject

Rides of in to the distance smirk on his face confident he has made the right decision. At least the recent poster with a Foden drops made up a good story about it not being for him As for filling in the V55 its just like being back at school doing an exam answer those you know leave the rest blank Oh and don't forget to put your name on it that's 10 extra marks plus they know who to screw when it all cocks up for giving false information

Years ago I registered an FV432, I can't remember the exact width but they are over the maximum width limit for tracked vehicles.

 

When filling out the form I put the vehicles actual width knowing that the registration would most likely be rejected. However, to my surprise it was approved. Now this doesn't change the fact that the vehicle is still over the maximum width allowed by construction and use regulations, but I had given the DVLA genuine data on the form..

 

However, a registration document does not mean that a vehicle is road legal just that it is registered. It is not necessarily up to the DVLA to know every regulation, but the owner to ensure their vehicle complies with the law. Ignorance, unfortunately, is not an excuse. This is one of the reasons I ended up selling my 432 and buying a CVRT which does meet the regulations as far as I'm aware.

 

Ultimately, it's your choice, but run an over width vehicle on the road and have a fatal accident etc and you'll get the book thrown at you, these days that could mean doing time at her majesty's pleasure. Lie on the registration form and you're opening yourself up to more trouble.

 

End of the day it's your decision though.

Does not have to be fatal a relatively minor head injuries to a kid on a bike will see you and your family in misery for a long time

"There is none so blind as them that don't want to see". Hence the "can you advise me how to register a vehicle i know is illegal". Then I can down load it on some other dupe and get my money back

Sun 14:15 breighton airfield Vulcan gave us proper display three flypasts one very low absolutely awesome.

work on £140 a ton as stood there If you have use for the winches add a little more . Personally I add nothing more for nostalgia or historical value but other people might see more. end of day its all down to what some one is willing to reach out and pull out of their back pocket

I don't know the owner but I do know the guy charged with selling them he is very amicable and if you contact him as per my original post he will be more than willing to supply any info alternatively I am willing to gleen any info you want. as a heads up they will not be sold for less than scrap value (why would they). By the way chris who is selling them is very patient but is very curt with dreamers

Brewstop you have gone very quite perhaps you have not heard what you wanted to hear or has it confirmed what you suspected and you cant ride about in over width vehicles for pleasure no matter how they are registered. Good point is it brings their price down so you can afford to lowloader them to shows etc.

I find the back ground music very smoothing hope it helps the guys who have to sort out. With out some more demolition site clearance and cutting gear they are not going to get any where near with a road going crane

its not far from Smit international they will send a little one out to sort that

does not matter so much what it registered as. The problem is the use its being put to if its use is not one that allows certain breeches of C&U regs then its illegal. None of these allow civillians to ride about for pleasure.
