Going to have new gaskets made up.

We have a spare engine that's missing a few bits! Need to find somebody who has spares for these.

Hi,

Anyone know where I can get a gasket set for M5 HST? Continental R6572 I believe!

Chris

Is that the fuel tank on the bulkhead behind the engine?

Chris

I know its out there somewhere, the WIDE track manuals and parts manuals. But so far I´ve only managed to find the NARROW track manual.

Where are the manual for MK2 and 3´s??

I´d also like the manual/parts/exploded view to the SACOL overrun mecanism on Sankey WT MK2...

Cant find it anywhere..

Anyone??

My carrier is in this months CMV! Second time this year:)

Still for sale, but I am enjoying carrier ownership.

Chris

Hi can anyone ID this gearbox?

Was told it maybe sherman.

Chris

I found these Radar sets when visiting Buenos Aries. Can anyone identify what they are? They are defo British made! I thought they may be Bofors directors?

Chris

Chris - any chance of discussing with them the possibility of making Cletrac tracks?

Someone with a Cletrac needs to get into gear here, or a great opportunity will be missed!

 

If someone can to advise the length compared to Halftrack tracks, they should be able to quote for these too.

Hi,

If you let me have some details re Cletrac track and I will ask!

Regards Chris

The factory in Argentina are willing to start making the tracks again! I am just waiting for a price. They still have the moulds. They are willing to make tracks for other vehicles as well, definitely Sherman and possibly Universal carrier as well. The Argentines used Halftracks, Sherman's and T-16's for many years. This is the factory that supplied the Army with there tracks.

Regards Chris

Hi,

I have been onto the factory in Argentina who used to make the tracks for the Army. They believe they still have the moulds, they are going to check. They would obviously have to make a few pairs to make it worthwhile, but may be cost effective!

I will keep people informed.

Regards Chris

Went for a test drive today! Runs lovely.

The Ariel is now running and driving!

Going to take it to YWE along with T-16 and Dingo.

Chris

Back on two wheels!

Chris

Its looking really good, do you have any picture of the speedo bracket?

Hi,

I don't have a picture of the speedo! I need to make one myself. I think it may be a two piece item for the Ariel!

Chris

Got some more bits back on today.

Chris

The bike is coming together very nicely. I have ordered a new clutch and some more bits from Draganfly Motorcycles, they really are a one stop for everything.

Chris

Nice looking project! What size of engine is that, I don't really know my way around Ariels very well.

350 ohv.

Chris

Had this bike lurking around for a couple of years, thought I better make a start on it!

It should make a very nice restoration, it has a lot of very nice hard to find parts. It's not been messed around with and is still on standard bore.

Chris

Hi,

Carriers are great fun to drive. They can be road registered easy enough. I use a Mitsubishi Canter to move mine around. Smallish truck but still 7.5 ton.

Parts are not too difficult to source.

Chris

How comes she's for sale Chris?

I have a new project Bill.

Chris

The carrier won best wartime vehicle at Elvington.

Chris

I will be there in the T-16.

Chris

Added a few more details ready for Elvington this weekend.

I made up a display board with some resto pics etc. I had forgotten how bad she was when I got her!
