I've used Tek Military Seating (a current MOD supplier) in the past for my Abbot seats. They're very amenable to individual jobs and their work is excellent. Andy

I think that Ian Galliers and Nick Mead have hoovered them all up. Andy

You may also have fun getting planning permission for the garage ... Andy

Assorted photos here: Andy -
I noticed that the CVRTs had dialed it down a couple of notches on Sunday and all the better for it. Here's a few of my arena photos: Andy

A busy weekend - I'd had my RB44 at the Portsmouth Armed Forces Day and was on my way to Tankfest when I saw it. Andy

On the M27 westbound near Eastleigh at 0635 yesterday, a Chieftain in Berlin camouflage on a civilian lowloader. Any idea where it was coming from/going to? There can't be many of those around. Andy
-
Thanks Chris - that makes more sense. Andy
-
I presume this is a rehearsal for Armed Forces Day tomorrow? Andy

The xmod have the filters in stock. They aren't cheap, but if you want to do it properly ... https://www.thexmod.com/item_detail.asp?id=2828&t=Filter_432_AJ5578261 Andy

I'm supporting the one in Southsea with my RB44. Andy

If you've never done it, change the gearbox oil and filter, making sure the level is correct as per the instructions on the dipstick. Too much oil is as bad as too little. As David says, use straight SAE30 mineral oil, available as a "classic" oil from many suppliers. Andy

At 50Hz the skin effect is negligible, it's around 8mm deep, hence well inside any conductor you're likely to be using. And to answer Dian'a question, a clamp meter usually uses the hall effect. Andy

Shades of the bling ferret, methinks, but as Chris says, it's your vehicle! Andy -
If you wanted to be really different, you could try one of these: "These conversions are fully-reversible and can be applied to any XK engine powered classic Jaguar built between 1948 and 1992." 🙂 Andy

Have a chat with Barry Ring of Whitedell Engineering, he always seems to be surrounded by assorted Jeeps! Andy

What's under that bottom cover? Andy
-
If you purely rely on charging the batteries from the vehicle, yes. But if like me and, I assume, many others, you keep them topped up from a separate charger it shouldn't be an issue. Andy
-
Presumably your 24V comes from two 12V batteries in series, so why not just run the starter off one battery? Andy
-
Just be careful that you don't use any antifreeze with organic inhibitors in it. Ethylene glycol should be OK. Andy

Do Bovington hold record cards for RAF vehicles? Andy
-
Thanks John, I'll check when I'm back home on Wednesday. How much do you want for the connector? Andy
-
Of course I do - I also know how much they cost! Andy
-
Can you please give me the diameter of the thread on the backshell? It might fit another connector I need one for. Andy
