    Good day today managed to get the truck out of the shed and pressure wash the engine and gearbox off thanks for the crank handle paul it made life a lot easier. before ! By removing the sparkplugs and putting it in first gear it was easy to drag the old girl out of t'shed just like ice cold in Alex :beer: Got the core plugs out and got as much crud out as pos, when I got home the return spring for the starter motor had arrived so that's sorted and can be put on the shelf ready to refit.

    Its now the turn of the starter motor to be sorted, all it needed was a new return spring. And the removal of 70 + years of crud :wow: Have also been busy making the first pair of patterns so we can have new castings made for the aero screen brackets two more to make then its off to the foundry :-D

    Cheers Charlie Bit quiet at the mo have taken all the instruments out of the panel and hope to remove the bulkhead from the chassis tomo eve though I have noticed my cab mount are shot they are the same as pauls and I'll need to source some new ones eventually. speedo looked shot but should be able to save it though the temp gauge is shot so will need one of those :shocked:

    Need to beg a favour could you give me a cutting list of the timbers that form your floor structure I'm a carpenter by trade so will have no problem reproducing new timber for my cab, if its easier could you sketch each piece with dimensions inc overall size of floor and post them to me that would be of great use when the time comes. Many thanks Jeremy.

  12. rampant rivet
    70 odd years old nuts and bolts do not come undone easily :wow: though this is the easier phase :cheesy: I am lucky with the workshop as around ten years ago I helped a mate restore his Dodge weapons carrier then built a 20' x 30' shed for him in return I have a corner to work in and have been there so long now I am known as the squatter

    Had another good day working on the old girl Gave the end of a front spring a quick clean and found this unfortunately no date. Looks like its been through a workshop all being + 20 thou Something odd here looks like the wrong water pump or summat as the belt doesn't look in line. looking a bit sad now :undecided:
  14. rampant rivet
    Well hopefully Ive sorted my finger trouble and can post some more general pics of the truck I have noticed the water pump is leaking so that's another job to add to the list. headlights came with truck but am unsure if they are correct
  15. rampant rivet

  17. rampant rivet
    Busy day int shed have removed timber post war cab and can now see where I am going, cab floor is not original nor are the timbers underneath, same with the rear floor, sites playing up at the mo will try to add more pics later I removed the old voltage regulator and underneath there is a small patch of original green colour paint not chocolate brown as predicted by rippo [ATTACH=CONFIG] 74739[/ATTACH]

  20. rampant rivet
    Yes I see what you mean, I will keep my original switch if serviceable have rebuilt the champ switch unit and still have some lettraset left over to do the lettering. May swap or sell this unit if not needed for Mw bits in the future .
  21. rampant rivet
    Beginners luck :cool2: Just checked parts list and looks to be correct thanks for info Richard as its an early one looks like it will be used on the Mw not bad for a fiver :-D
  22. rampant rivet
    Found this today at the Coleford festival of transport looks similar to the type used on MW's but am not sure Looks in good order and if correct will come in handy.:banana:
  23. rampant rivet
    Thanks Hanno I hope the MW will not take five years to restore like the C15, hopefully spares will be easier to locate plus this MW has an engine in situ
  24. rampant rivet
    Good idea am going to spend tues assesing whats missing and form a plan of attack :nut: will be taking lots of reference pics along the way.
  25. rampant rivet
