Hi Niels Nice job buddy, will she be finished for W&P 2012 ? I have just got back from Scotland (850mile round trip) with a trailer load of QL parts for myself & Danny152. I will be starting my restoration this weekend & hope to post a restoration thread aswell. Great to see another QL has been saved just down the road from you Niels. Ian

Hi Paul do you make screen frames for the Bedford QL aswell ?

Glad to hear it Chris, I didnt push it any further due to the distance and also had a QL lined up which arrived yesterday. Look forward to seeing the restoration. Ian

Is this the one from the northeast that was on Milweb a month or two ago for £6,500ono ? There's a realy nice looking one on Milweb at the moment for £5,500 http://www.milweb.net/classifieds/large_image.php?ad=59256&cat=3 Good luck with here, the OY looks great & that might to be my next project after the QL.

Hi Guys I know this would of been asked many times before by others ? but as I can't find it so I will ask again. How do I post pictures/photos ? Cheers

Does he live in Norfolk & own a Bedford QL Trooper ? if so could you PM me his phone number please as I have mislayed it. Cheers Ian

Hi Dave I phoned Lancaster Vintage today & they want £400 + to make a new wheel from scratch as they wont restore an old wheel but http://www.steeringwheelrestoration.co.uk/ quoted £275 to remould over the origional steel spokes so may have to go that way ?

Nice job Paul but I'm affraid my wheel is a lot worse than yours, it crumbles away to the touch so will need a new one casting over the frame. Any ideas ? Cheers Ian

Any chance of posting the last picture which I believe may be a QL in Mains Scrap Yard ? Cheers Ian

Hi Guys I need to get a WW2 Steering Wheel restored. This company looks ok http://www.steeringwheelrestoration.co.uk/ has anybody used them or any other company ? Cheers Ian

Very nice :cheesy: I would love one of these if anybody knows where there is one ?

Hi Neils I have a QLC body like yours in very good condition but the wheel boxes have been removed to make a flat load area. What I need are drawings, photos & measurements so that I can make exact copies. Can you help please ? Cheers Ian. P.S. I have emailed your friend in Denmark.

Which one is yours Richard ?

Hi Guys, how about a Gallery for the Bedford QL ???? timber trucks, derelict, restorations etc.

Opps gone not me though, too many other toys to buy :-D

Saw this on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360391741398 think I'll have 2 then please !!!!!! :shocked:

Hi Neil. I tow my 44 GPW behind my 19' Fiat Ducato Motorcaravan on a braked 'A' frame all year round, check out this site http://www.caratow.com/home.php you can buy direct from them or get one on ebay for about 1/3 cost. They dont make the braking part for a Jeep as there is not enough demand but I designed one which could be made in about 1 hour (dimensions if you need it) This year alone we have been to W&P (Beltring) with her and about 5 shows plus several weekends away. We have just got home from a touring holiday around Devon/Cornwall (towing the Jeep for about 580 miles) and stopped off at the Great Dorset Steam Fair on the way home. The Jeep covered about 500 miles while in Cornwall & we had the best fun ever in her. It gets looks & questions wherever we go & great interest in the braking system, but before anybody pops their head above the parapet and comments about transmission wear I have fitted freewheeling hubs to the front & blanking plates to cover the removed halfshafts (long journeys only) I would post photos if I could, please help there !!!!!!!! Ian P.S. This would be well in your GTW with a Focus at 1.1 ton

Is that a QL with the Hiab ? if so could it be forsale ? Cheers Ian

That Stalwart clip is amazing !!!!!!!! why did we ever do away with a vehicle like that ?

What would the trailor of been used for ? it looks specialised.

RACCA which is the heavy side of the RAC. Ian

Hi Quentin I am looking for a WW2 can with WATER pressed into it or petrol cans with PSC or NG makers marks, can you help ? Thanks Ian

Hi Richard I took a guess at M5559161 for March 44 so looks like I'm not too far out. Ian
