    This looks similar to the situation with filters for the K60 used in FV430s where there seems to be three different types of element, all apparently interchangeable. They also all look suspiciously similar to the B series filters even though they have different NSNs. Andy

    Are you talking about different types of filter element within the existing filter bowl, or a screw-on cartridge to replace it? Andy

    Don't need to worry about getting the smoke dischargers working then :-) (Typical K60/L60 when cold!) Andy

    The full version of the YouTube video shows it being crudely deactivated before removal, so I'm not sure it would be any use in a conflict! Andy

    Strictly speaking that's correct - Lauren's charge can't go anywhere unless there is a path between both battery terminals. However from a practical point of view it makes sense to put it in the earthy side for reasons already explained. Andy

    I'd choose the negative (assuming it's negative earth). Then any wire can do anything it likes to touch the chassis but nothing will happen as there is no earth reference. That's why when changing a battery the negative cable should always be the first to be removed and last to be replaced. Andy

    A Hawker 6TNMF battery will deliver 1225A starting current and they seem happy enough with that. You shouldn't have any problem with a battery charger, even in "start" mode. Andy

    If you intend to use it for starting, take it direct to the batteries with the shortest heaviest cable you can find. Think jump cable size and be careful with the wiring, a dead short across a pair of 12V batteries would be both lethal and spectacular. Andy

    It's all looking good, Rick! Andy

    Thanks Wally, some digging around on the 'net suggests it was at Shrivenham in the 1980s and sold by Marcus Glenn around 2011 when it was looking rather sorry for itself. Someone has spent some time and effort in the meantime. It's now apparently sold with a live gun, by the way. Andy

    I get the feeling at times that selling to individuals is seen as a necessary evil. They'd much rather sell in tens to foreign governments. Andy

    Is that the ex-Trackfix one, Paul? Andy

    I don't think that a cat has sufficiently high explosive content ... :nut: Andy

    Does anyone know the the history of Abbot 02SP65 currently for sale on Milweb? It says that it's an early prototype ex-army museum, but the VRN is wrong. The twelve Abbot prototypes were in the series 03DAXX, this looks more like a vehicle from Chertsey used for development purposes. It also has a very unusual colour scheme! http://www.milweb.co.uk/classifieds/large_image.php?ad=76199&cat=1 Andy

    In my diary, although I won't have a vehicle to bring yet. At least last year showed me an alternative/inverse use for the car's towbar ... Andy

    An example by way of demonstration - this is the rear of the upper division plate for my Abbot: Andy

    This is what Trakmark looks like, if it helps? Andy

    They're currently going through an upgrade programme, so don't hold your breath! Andy

    Welcome aboard, Brian! Andy

    Dropzone have some of these currently on eBay for £20 if anyone else needs one. Very useful for checking assorted Clansman cables! Andy

    You'd definitely need to watch your fingers with that! :-) Andy

    Revisiting an old thread, the SANIE provides secure data in the later Abbots fitted with BATES: Andy

    It would be very interesting to see what's under that front hull plate. I wonder if it does indeed have separate main brakes (as the FV430s should have had all long) ... Andy

    From what I remember looking through the same hole there are also signs of fire damage inside? Andy

    Best wishes for the New Year! Andy
