Just a thought - but if you want to use it for vehicle to vehicle or vehicle to banksman comms - don't OfCom take an VERY unhealthy interest in the the Clansman sets when transmitting???

 

I have a very long extension lead fitted to the Stalwarts intercom system - it allows the commander to get out and work from the rear of the vehicle if necessary. This too came from ebay.

 

Throat mikes - the Soviet comms kit in the OT is all throat mike and works much better than the boom mics on the clansman headsets in the Stalwart - no wind noise or extraneous noise at all. (and those radios all work in the UK's legal CB frequencies!! :cool2: )

Most definitely OfCom rather frown on transmissions of none licence holders. For good reason.... I shouldn't of mentioned it, to late now seemed a good idea at the time.

Radios now don't rub it in to much now will you lol

I'll try the throat mikes next time I am out and about in the Ferret.

Must book in for this show this year I've been going to this show for five years and still haven't made it yet!

Good pics!

Nice one thats a cracking job:-D

Its a cracking looking vehicle with a sweet sounding engine

The boiling vessel plug is quite large and is a four pin male plug. Do you have a picture of where the plug would plug into on the amplifier?

Is it 240 volts or ? DC?

This is where the 351 came in as it has an intercom function that doesn't need the radio side of things to function so I'm led to believe. But to be correct you would need a radio licence to use the 351.

Buy a Clansman 351 radio with a good battery and use the intercom function. Throat mics were very cheap on ebay they even come with the ptt incorporated into the lead. Not tried throat mics in an AFV.

Thats brilliant exactly what I needed to know I've never needed to change one of these pumps before first time for eveything.

Many thanks for the reply

I have a power steering pump to replace on my better halfs car (Toyota Starlet). We would have liked to replace the pump with a new one or an exchange one but the price was a bit extreme at £250 (with an exchange of the old pump if they could find one). So I've bought a used one off ebay.

A bearing has gone in the pump and its stopped working and its making a noise on start up plus it has those nice rust marks on the belt of a bearing going pear shaped.

My question is should I replace the fluids in the system? Would the system need bleeding?

Nice to see another Ferret owner

Ditto the above but put Ferrets & RB44 in place of Land Rover

Hopefully finish or have running 08BB48

has anyone got any map refs for any ferrets still on the range would love to go for a hike and find one. cheers rob

Not if you like living you won't its still an active range and most of the vehicles r literally out in the sticks

Hi Andy , thanks for the links ! Do you know if the Pig picture is available to buy as a print as I'd love a copy to hang in my Den also refered to as my Pen for several other reasons !

Its the first time that I have seen it and looking at Clive's post above its a first as well. I can not see an artists name printed anywhere on the drawing so.... snookered for the moment

Hopefully these will be of some use

Very much so more for Robin but I have MK 1 plates so next year this thread will come in handy.

Thanks very much

Thanks for taking the time to remove the plate as well

Some really early shots of Ferrets very nice

Can't remember where I got it from so its not on the site but have a look below you might find more.Five years plus of saving so should be in some sort of order as well. I have a load more to upload and ask if I can use them on the site (I've kept records of where I've saved them from).

Think this drawing might be nearly right.

Lewis any chance that I could use a few of those extra pictures?

Not my pics I hasten to add I stumbled across them whilst looking for something else

No racket he hooked the rope to the chimney pot and shimmed down the chimney... the fire burnt his backside but hey occupational hazard goes with the job

I suspect that it is relatively easy to make its being able to have a look at one to copy. As it is you have to datum points already welded to the hull as Mike says and if the rubbers already have a cut out you have you're measurements.

I think the one on the right is better than the one on the left

Hi Lewis,

Any chance that you could take a picture from directly below with a few measurements? I'll draw it up and stick it back on here for Robin

That's a heck of a lot of truck good buy

Tiger Woods would have found one of these handy during the ..... er ......... unpleasantness.

Is it baseball bat proof and does it come with integral head protection from fists:D
