ferrettkitt

Thanks I had a choice of three different types and at least managed to pick one that is correct. :-)

Would these bits be for holding box type bodies (can't remember correct term) onto the vehicle? The DAF we looked at had them in one of the bins. I seem to remember that Robin was looking for pictures of these bits?? [ATTACH=CONFIG]57883[/ATTACH]

Both the cents were nice if only I had the pennies, money for fuel, money for transport costs, space to store it and oh did I mention money!

Caustic soda removes paint from rubber without causing any damage. As far as I know it doesn't have any affect on siezed or rusty parts, it might reduce the build up of rust on the parts initially.

Is anyone aware of a program or software that can be used to place hyper links over a picture? I would prefer not use layers as the layers have a habit of separating in different formats of internet explorer type programs. For instance if you look at this page in Chrome http://www.ferret-fv701.co.uk/intercoms_&_radios.htm and then do the same internet explorer you will see two different outcomes at the top of the page. I suspect that its not showing in Chrome for one of two reasons, its a microsoft product or I need to upload the whole drawing/gif to the server. Any ideas?

Hi Andy Those first two images gif 1 and 2 show up in internet explorer but not chrome its something I intend to change. The original gif files were drawn using MS powerpoint and this seems to be the reason that Chrome isn't picking the files up. Many thanks for the correction it looked o.k when I wrote it so I left alone.

Thanks Chris I'll purloin those if you don't mind :-D

Nearly forgot you might need a licence in the US to operate the radios if you install them. In the UK you most definitely do need a licence to have operational radios in you're vehicle.

Intercom http://www.ferret-fv701.co.uk/intercoms_&_radios.htm You need either an IB2 or an IB3 box IB2 [ATTACH=CONFIG]57794[/ATTACH] IB3 [ATTACH=CONFIG]57793[/ATTACH] Drivers Crew Box (CB2) [ATTACH=CONFIG]57797[/ATTACH] One lead with two twelve pin plug ends [ATTACH=CONFIG]57798[/ATTACH] Two pin power plug [ATTACH=CONFIG]57799[/ATTACH] If you want the ANR system to work you need the correct headsets and green PTT's Example of headsets, ptts, cables and boxes 1. IB3 Box. 2. Drivers Box. 3. Power Cable 2 pin female with ring connectors. 4. 12 pin IB3 – Drivers Box connecting cable. 5. Ptt (Press to talk) x 2. (wrong colour) 6. Headsets x 2 (Prc351 radio type easy to clean). Must get some ANR headset pictures

Caustic soda in a plastic tub with a scoop of washing powder and a squirt of washing up liquid will remove oil based paints from steel parts. Care has to be taken with alluminuim parts as the caustic soda will erode the alloy to nothing. Caustic soda does not work on two pack paints but as most military paints will be oil based you should be o.k. for awhile. Not to be used near children or where animals may access the liquid.

Yes its on tonight at the usual time

Yes they are all :nut: And This wouldn't be the council that built a bus stop on a road without a bus route would it?

It could be worse I'm sure I've seen dating for the over forties on here its just plain rubbing it in!!

Some good ideas here for washing them

You can have to many Ferrets if you're not careful, it would be a bit like seeing a field full of Jeeps :sleep: I don't know who would fall asleep first the Ferrets owners or the Jeep owners :laugh:

Not yet still time will speak with Andrew at some point, I think he is a touch busy though with his Frogs and Lizards.

I have a manual thats been downloaded from the Yahoo Clansman & Larkspur group that shows a box that can be used in conjunction with Larkspur and Clansman. I suspect that you won't find the box easily as I have only ever seen one on ebay. Radio Adaptor Box (rab). I can send you the document its a Windjview file though send me a pm and I'll send you the document. You could just omit me and join the Yahoo Clansman & Larkspur group and download files from there and ask any questions of the group. http://windjview.sourceforge.net/ Best regards

Hi Welcome to the forum I've always fancied having one of these vehicles ever since I saw one on the Long Way Round with Ewan Mcgregor and Charlie Boorman. Beats trundling around in a transit van

Considering the poster of the thread is in Northumberland I suspect they could be on Otterburn. It looks windswept and bleak

Hi Matt, Wouldn't you be better making the boxes and mounts out of plasticard? Tubes could be made out of old plastic sprues for plastic kits or by buying rods of a similar size.

I think I know the Ferret in question if the owners name is Patrick Welcome aboard

If you publish any drawings on here or elsewhere don't forget to put a watermark or some such thing on the picture otherwise it will end up on ebay. A s***ehawk has just done that very thing in relation to my Ferret manuals page. At least two numpties have bought the cd's even though you can download them for free. I'm not bitter just twisted

Woodvale Rally 4th & 5th August 2012 Statement from West Lancs MVT Dear all It is with sad regret that we have to inform you that the West Lancs MVT have took the decision to withdraw from this years Woodvale Rally. We have been informed by the rally organisers that due to asbestos contamination on the airfield site the rally cannot take place at RAF Woodvale. The only site at short notice that they could find was Victoria Park in Southport, and the only date they could secure was the 28th/29th July, as contractors start preparation work for the Southport Flower Show on 1st August. Due to the size of our section, Victoria park is far too small to accommodate our needs as we have had huge interest again this year and based on the applications we had received so far we would have had well over 100 vehicles at our event (including large and tracked vehicles), plus military bands, displays and re-enactors and there is no way, (due to the space we require) that they could accommodate us at Victoria Park. The organisers have informed us that they will continue to look for another venue where they can resume with the flying display and other attractions again in the future. This is sad news and hopefully we will be back there next year. We will hold on to your self addressed envelopes for next year and use these to send out application forms for the 2013 Rally. We will also keep you informed of developments for next year through our website and hopefully see some of you soon at other military shows Maria & James West Lancs MVT
