Age is a terrible thing Tony!

Thanks for the pic I am missing the footman loops.:tup::

Is it a footman loop at the top as well?

Can someone shed some light on how the axe and shovels straps are arranged on a 42 GPW please. Been trying to work it out from pictures but I cant find anything close enough to shed any light on the subject, and I suspect I should have a couple of holes which are'nt there. Also top bow strap arrangement and jerry can strap. Thanks in advance.

Welcome aboard, as you are both local to me I thought I would plug 1940's weekend at Milton Keynes Museum, September 1st and 2nd, come on down as Leslie Crowther would say,

It's gonna be gooooood!:-D

Welcome aboard. Forties weekend at Milton Keynes Museum..?:whistle:

I heard this today on the radio and thought it was brilliant, so thought I would share on here. Its worth a listen.

Welcome

Welcome

Welcome

Welcome.

A Panzer in an Allied Forces event? Surely not Mon Capitan?

Why is it too dangerous to have the public stood in a road when there's no vehicle movement, but ok for 10 year olds with no road sense to burn round the site on quads after the show closes and vehicles are roaming the field??

Indeed! I wonder if they paid the same amount of extortionate rates as I did the other year for the privilege!

Another to the ranks, congrats Joris!

May see you there as we are passing, hopefully!

Article on the markings and details of these helmets in the latest issue of Windscreen which came through the letterbox today.

Has anyone fitted a Hen long smoke unit in a Tamiya Tiger before? If so, how do you get around the problem of getting the smoke pipes up the 90 degree bend in the exhaust?

Great pic, good website. i want the gramaphone player!

Good pics, glad to see the weather held out. What was the little tracked tractor?

Thanks guys, will replace the bolts with new ones to make sure, and the clamp. Tony, Ive got EI set in the dizzy anyway.

If the distributor clamp is physically tight, then how do you know it has jumped a few degrees? If you are checking with an electronic tuner or such like, then maybe the points have closed a little since you last checked them. Problems starting since a lay up could be dirty points, not uncommon to get a slight haze on them. Could also be a fault in the auto advance mechanism.

I put a small paint mark on the dizzy housing, the cap and on the block, which when I looked had moved a few degrees clockwise. Moving it back so that the marks lined up it started up ok. Ive got an EI kit fitted. Auto advance mechanism?

.

The distributor can only move if the clamp bolt is loose or the clamp plate locking bolt holding is missing, did you sort out the timing problem when the chain jumped on the sprockets?

In retrospect I dont think the chain did jump, Im sure it was the dizzy moving again. Cant remember why I thought it was the chain jumping...

After a long time trying to get the jeep started after its winter lay up I discovered that the dizzy had jumped a few degrees again. This is despite it being done up tight. Anyone else come across this or is it a common adjustment?

here you go mate.

Thats the one, thanks.

It does make you wonder...employed bidders in the crowd maybe? Be interesting to see if anything comes up for sale again.

Welcome, what do you have now?
