You're snookered is the answer... Use copper washers as has already been suggested if you can not find the aluminium type. You really haven't much choice if you can not find a supplier or a supplier that you find the prices reasonable for. Up this neck of the woods I have seen someone selling bits and pieces for carburettors at Tatton Park car show (not much use to you I know) but from memory they had alloy washers. So someone has them

You know it makes no sense to buy it but when will you see another? Depends on the ££££££££

Hi Richard, Nice to hear from another in the Manchester area Had not heard of that one before something new every day

For £4500 its good value even with VAT added on top. Where else could you buy a vehicle that has low mileage more than likely has been rebuilt recently and is for sale at £4500... and we all paid for it! Nuff said

That might have been going to or coming from the local Manchester Area MVT event the one where I had fun in the mud but thats another story.

the rpg protection stuff isn't much cop its only a couple of inches high! What about the spaced body armour the material isn't even touching his skin :shocked:

Good luck

This will make a good caption competition :cheesy:

I hope the driver knows that there a bloody great hole in front of him... oh sh1t he doesn't where can I hide

In regards to sponsorship I can't think of any way that would make the Tiger Tank (Nazi Tank) look good on any companies publicity unless its in military circles. The newspapers would have a field day Kitchener being driven over by a tracked swastika festooned tank springs to mind. I can understand why the museum has the Tiger as an attraction but I would much prefer to see something else in its place as a 'core' vehicle. Pro British but not remotely interested in anything far right if you know what I mean. Please do the Tank Museum should have this as a 'core' vehicle in preference to the Tiger

The driver insisted that she knew where she was going :angel: Bloke says to his wife I came this way last week the bridge was fine when I drove over it... the creaking sounds went away after I got out the other side

Is it possible that you have disturbed the sediment in the tanks and thats causing a restriction in the fuel pipes and the tap? I presume that it also has a filter at the banjo on the carb as well could that be blocked?

Oooo Nice Looks like a good trip out the spending bit might be a bit of a downer

Passport / Driving licence and a recent utility bill seems to ring a bell when I registered the RB. I also had the release documents from Withams/ MOD.

Bit to far I think it worked at over an hours travelling time at maybe 8 mpg if I'm lucky. Woodvale cost £150 last year without the £ for the RB included either. I would like to go but unless I can piggy back somehow its a non starter which is a shame. I still plan on visiting unless I get side tracked into going into another show in the RB. Letter arrived as well

I wanted to take my RB couldn't its too young :cry: I'll just go and blub in a dark corner somewhere

Criminal shame now looking back but in the early war years the government and local towns would have had to take the lead in scrap drives to encourage the majority to give freely. You only have to look around old Churches and Municipal buildings to see where the railings once were and all that remains now r rusting stumps.

Give him a clap for trying you never know some rich banker might be interested in wasting his loose change

As long as the pimped up Ferret drives off the end of the 'ski jump' I'm fine with it. Can we cast the druggies adrift as well?

Whilst it was sunny and hot I thought I'd have a go at finishing off removing all the underseal from the base of the tub. What a swine off a job! I ended up wiping the base down with petrol when I thought I had removed all the underseal only to find that it had exposed all the underseal that I had missed. This is it finished.... the strap is to hold it against the trailer frame I don't want it falling on someone I found two holes one of them looks to have been at a weld from the manufacturer and the other is on a seem on the bottom of the tub Hole covered up by under sealant

Hi Tom, You will find a few of us on here Hi

Matt, I haven't much choice the missus wants to put her car back on the drive its living at my Mums at the moment. Tub wise its a belter it just seems to have surface rust and the odd ding or two. I was surprised at how easily the tub came off, I was expecting a fight with the nuts!

Tub nearly off Tub off I had already had a go at stripping off the underseal a lot of it was loose and fell away quite easily some will have to be chipped off with an old woodworking chisel. Handbrake assembly came off the chassis very easily Chassis the shiney bits of green paint are where the underseal has lifted off.

The strip down begins half the fun was removing some of the items that I had stored in the trailer No.5 cooker for instance. Tub partially blocked up ready for a move sideways The body tub is secured to the chassis by approximately ten of these hooks luckily they all came off without a major fight. No heat was used just common all garden oil and ignorance. The light clusters have to be removed before the tub can be moved they get in the way!
