    One of the Bowsers had a makers plate just hanging on by rust alone so removed it to safe storage. Plate says that its a 15cwt trailer rather than a 20cwt but from all the investigation I have done I thought that the Canadian type with 16" CMP wheels were 15cwt and the early British ones with 11:00 wheels were 20cwt ??

    Hi Guy I have 3 new (n.o.s) Left Hand frames which I bought off John Morter last year and I am hoping that 'paulbrook' is still going to make some R/H QL frames. if not then I may have to cut up 2 L/H frames to make a R/H but that will be a last resort. Please bring your spare bits to W&P just incase.

    Hi Guy I'm now on the lookout for a replacement gearbox, we have decided to remove the sump and cylinder head to start with and go from there. Ian

    Despite standing since the early 70s the engine ran very well with no smoke & good compression, clutch & gears worked fine. Messy job over paint stripping and pressure washing, first nasty suprise was a broken lug on the gearbox and a badly chipped gear.

    Just got back from a local show today and the rear brake cylinders on my K5 are leaking very badly, Where can I get some new cylinders or repair kits from this week ? I need them by Wednesday at the latest for a show at the weekend.

    Were WW2 trailers ever fitted with the brass rebuild plates after the war as none of my 10cwt trailers have then but one of my 20cwt Bowsers has 4 holes drilled in the L/H side of the 'A' frame where one might of been fitted ? If so are genuine N.O.S still avaiable or repo ? Thanks.

    The 2nd Bowser was saved today, the wheel was replaced with one from the 1st bowser and the drum had to be removed to free off a seized brake & bearing. The stub axel is stamped V19 R T Ltd 1940 anybody know of this company and do they still exist ?and who made these bowsers ?

    Great site, thats now on my favourites.

    Are you aware that there are 4 more come up for sale ? 3 are being sold by a seller on ebay at £150 starting bid & 1 more on milweb, they look more complete & better condition than the one you are chasing at Mamby. This is a link I started a few days ago on this Forum http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?31068-3-WW2-RAF-Fuel-Bowsers
  22. Ian L
    Is this a WW2 bowser ? on a later chassis ? its for sale with a starting bid of £70. less than scrap value.

    These are some great photos and text of post WWII, especially meaningful for history buffs. What an explicit lesson about what War does to the world and its inhabitants: http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2011/10/world-war-ii-after-the-war/100180
  24. Ian L
    Exactly

    Hi Steve I don't think they will make one for you mate ? it would be cheeper if you bought a second hand 'A' Frame & cable off ebay and we copied the brackets off my Jeep. Ian
