    Same OD, centre hole and hole PCD but narrower.

    Andrew, you're a big tease.:nono: Is that the engine we ran?
  3. Adrian Barrell
    Possibly like this......:whistle:

    Militaria in all its varied incarnation is a narrow interest field. Any TV series that showed it like it really is would never get made as no network would buy it. 'In tonights episode, we see Dave spend six hours removing a broken bolt and evesdrop a heated two week discussion about the correct shade of olive drab' Combat Dealers is for the masses, that's what TV is. Think of it as a comedy drama where the participants play themselves!

    More than one Cadman connection in that episode!

    General Motors owned Bedford from 1932, iirc, so much North American influence.

    What I meant was, was the Bofors known as 40mm L/60 before the L/70 entered service, I'm not sure it was. Hence being marked L/60 indicates it was to differentiate between it and the longer L/70 barrel. Having just checked all my manuals which date from 1941 to 1947, it is only listed as Ordnance, Q.F. 40mm. I suspect it only became known as L/60 in British service when L/70 came in during 1953.

    I think it's likely well post war. Was the L60 referred to as such before the L70 came into service? I always thought the wartime boxes were wooden.

    Iain hasn't been on here since 2012 so an answer may not be forthcoming!

    Wheels look like Dodge, I would guess a rear axle from a 1/2 or 3/4 ton Dodge.

    If you want to weld all three, you really need an AC/DC machine which are, all things being equal, more expensive than a DC machine. You can weld ally with DC but it only really works on heavier sections.

    It's a standard compass, fitted in many things.

    These are the Cruiser tank hooks, larger than the Armoured Car ones but exactly the same shape and style.

    SA gear is semi-automatic gear, this opens the breech on runout. I have no knowledge of FH70 but it usually has a manual setting which will keep the breech closed on runout.

    I'll do you a swap David. Will send email as per your PM.

    You might want to narrow it down to which particular IH vehicle you need it for.
  18. Adrian Barrell
    I have a spare tail light David.

    You would need to find the Dunlop part number to make a positive id. It starts with AH and is cast into the wheel.

    Those BESA tins look like the Clive Hughes repros he did a few years ago. They are nice.

    Camo tank suits were always less desirable than the standard tan examples. Asking prices were often higher but there was no demand for them.

    I have no knowledge of the C9B set up George, I have a towed Bofors. The tool are all wartime, just different patterns. The hinged tool is assembled around the back of the flash hider and the barrel is rotated half a turn to release. The barrel is then free to be withdrawn and the other carrying tool is used to support the breech end. Four handles, four men.
  23. Adrian Barrell
    George, pics below. The muzzle tool bore is hexagonal, not square as I said. Best not to rely on memory these days! The handles allow the barrel to be carried by four men. With its spring, it's bloomin' heavy! Sorry about the pics orientation, new phone and sent from my wifes laptop......
  24. Adrian Barrell
    George, do you need photos of the tools themselves? I can take some in the morning but there are two. A fixed carrying tool for the breech end and a folding one with a square bore for unscrewing the barrel and lifting the muzzle end. There are two patterns of the muzzle one.
