    Hi guys my WW2 trailer has this metal plate bolted under the body above the axle, should it be painted white or do you think there should be another plate there aswell ? I know about the convoy switch & junction box but what are the remains of the other 2 items ? lights ? if so what do they look like ?

    I've skippered a dive boat through that entrance 100s of times during 25 years of skuba diving there, used to be allowed to moor & dive off the old fort years ago but H&S banned that..

    So far the known total of British 180 gallon water trailers with 20" wheels is 5. 2 that I own / restoring. 1 in a private collection in Italy. 1 in Malta which is the most complete & on the show scene there. & this one in Luxembourg http://www.mnhm.lu/pageshtml/museumlookout.php

    I can't see it affecting MVs or restored historic vehicles to much but kit cars & home builds might be a problem in the future ?

    Hi Richard I bought one of these 'repo' filters for my QL last year from John Morter and I must say they realy look the business. Jules came round tonight and liberated it from me untill his arrives.

    Easy job this morning removing the brake drums/hubs but not so easy removing the brake cams & back plates. Lots of heat / sledgehammer & about 3 hours work finally got the job done.

    Another event cancelled but this time for different reasons. ttp://flytothepast2012.homestead.com/

    Personaly I think it would be a real shame not to restore it back to origional and keep the big V8, sound is as important as looks ? good luck with the restoration anyway however you decide to do it.
  23. Ian L
    Remove the rotor arm like they did in the war anyway fantastic news.

    My thoughts exactly which is why I think we need to look a little bit closer within the ranks.
