Can anyone recommend somewhere to overhaul carbs. The place i was going to use has got a 6 week waiting list, and charges a small fortune. Ideally North Bucks/South Northants area, or somewhere that doea a postal service. 8-)

Leslie Grantham aka "Dirty Den" is playing Private walker!

Things are rattling along with the Morris since i bought her 6 months ago. All bodywork has been completely stripped off down to the chassis, sandblasted and primed, then given a coat of red oxide. It was then treated with a coat of OD15 paint, which despite being horrible sticky stuff has got a very good tough finish. The front chassis where the engine bolts onto is a bit worse for wear and will probably need replacing, but as far as the rest is concerned is all fairly solid with not one seized or snapped stud/nut! Front tyres have been replaced, and we are still struggling to get a tyre off another rim. We have gone through tyre machines, hammer and chisels, jigsaws and have resorted to angle grinders now to get the tyre off the rim. It looks very much like the tyre has never been replaced since fitting in 1944. Fuel lines are on and we have the engine turning on the starter motor. We are seriously going for an engine run this afternoon, so if the old girl fires up and explodes into life i will be leaping around the workshop in joy! :-D

Will do mate.

Thanks for that, you truly are an Enigma! :tup:

Yes thats the one, I need to make time for a visit down there to have a rummage and to see if it's still there.

You're a star Larry thanks for the links to the pics! I found the one with the overhead mount attached to what looks like a telegraph pole amusing! Looks like I will have to hunt down a bren or 2 for the back of my toy! If you know of anyone or anywhere I can get scaled plans for the mount please let me know. I can see a trip to Duxford coming on to see if I can take some measurements from there mount. :tup:

Niiiiiiiiice....... :whistle:

Werent there new rules and restrictions in the US a while back about the import and export of military vehicles, I dont think its legal over there any more, I could be wrong tho :coffee:

Im gonna have to do that Enigma, Ive tried all of the above and its still saying too big. Will PM you the 2 pics on attachment.

Am trying to attach a photo(s) to a post, my file size is 656 mb, and I know it says on the bottom max file size is 256mb, how do I get the photo size down to fit? (And dont say use a pair of scissors!) :?

Wildo, thanks for that.

Thanks for that. I see by the thread you were looking for one, did you have any luck?

Can anyone enlighten me with pics or drawings on what a Motley gun mount looks like for anti aircraft bren. Many thanks

Been speaking to a friendly farmer about storage in his large sheds, and he is quite happy to oblige. Get in touch if interested.

Thanks Enigma, you havent any pics of these have you?

Just to add......I see the parts list has a heading for " Support for Motley Gun Mounting". Ive never heard of it, can someone enlighten me please.

Got the parts list david. :-D Thanks very much, most appreciated. :tup:

I was just perusing the wilderness that is ebay and looking at the BoB merchandise, (funny how its always the same stuff!), and there was a comment that they were starting to film Band of Brothers 2. Anyone any info on this, and how is that going to work then?? 8-)

Hello, Thanks for the reply, yes I am interested, i need a couple of c- sections to repair/reinforce part of the chassis. I dont suppose you can etch a lube diagram onto a brass plate can you??

welcome...a WC....now theres an unusual beast to find on this site... ;-)

I think its a good idea, even tho I wouldnt have much to contribute. 8-)

Have emailed Rolf and asked him to price his bits up. ;-)

B section cant spell "sergeant"! ;-) :whistle:

How do the "Allseeing" know when our birthdays are coming up?? :shake:
