  1. To place on unmarked containers to indicate contents? Red Petrol, Blue Kerosene? Alec
  2. Hmm, alignment/coupling marks? Red to red, blue to blue etc? Alec
  3. That was Derfflinger, they hauled it down to Rosyth in '46. There are three books which cover the topic admirably - The Man who bought a Navy by Gerald Bowman, Cox's Navy by Tony Booth and also Jutland to Junkyard by S.C. George. Jutland to Junkyard is my favourite, it along with TMWBAN, was collated from the remaining first-hand accounts. From Robertson's flat bar and screws to Cox and Danks winches and air chambers. Wonderful engineering books and worth a read!!!! :thumbsup: I have read them many times over the years. Alec.
  4. Or an E30 based M3!!! Why did I give off my 325i Sport........ :embarrassed: Wild prices for those now as well. :mad: Alec.
  5. Hi Folks, Anyone have experience of the No.6 Burner as issued to them for a personal cooker? :-) Alec.
  6. Looks like burning marks to me as well, someone washing the original bolt/rivet off and giving it a bit too much welly. Alec.
  7. Superb! Its true, you really can buy just about anything on eBay.....:-D Alec
  8. I have heard of this before, its not a new idea but this chap is due credit for inspiring people again! :goodidea: Alec.
  9. I've been looking for one myself for about three years now! Once common, now rocking horse poo. Alec.
  10. Hmm, broad question time, would it be used for communication/identification purposes? Alec.
  11. I was thinking along the lines of photographic, but it looks a little too compact for the era. Could it be said the box contains an accumulator, feeding two devices/connections, actuated by a switch on a wander-lead? Alec.
  12. A measurement device to monitor road conditions/angles/corrugations? Alec.
  13. A counter system for dispensing or pacing something out? Alec
  14. Hi, yes I contributed to that. I'm now fishing for pictures! Alec
  15. Hi Folks, Does anyone have pictures of No.1 Cookers/Burners in action? :-D I have seen only a few on the web :cry: The old favourite (no idea where it was culled from): Alec.
  16. And John Mortar (or is it his son these days?) Alec.
  17. I agree with Tony. If you have time however, take the cork/sump inside and heat both with a hairdryer, tape the cork on with some masking tape and leave it till morning. This will "train" the cork to lie where you want it. Alec.
  18. I use a Solex RZFAIP carb with a zero-degree starter on my 28hp, its war/prewar. If its the same as the one you are about to remove I'll gladly buy it off you for a spare. Give me a shout if you are up for it. Alec.
  19. These beasties take a lot of current. Does the control box not contain an interlock/relay to turn it off when the vehicle isn't charging? Hope you've a good alternator......:-D Alec
  20. Good grief, that's beyond a joke!!!!! :wow: Alec.
  21. Agreed, its no longer as advertised. If its cured itself its worth more moolah! Try it quick and see if you've increased its value...... :angel: Alec.
