Not easy to find! I do have a C264 and a C264A you can measure but they are quite complicated.
-
A consideration should be the use of detergent oils in an engine that only uses a bypass oil filter system. If the engine is clean and you do regular oil changes, it's fine. -
I might be interested in some Steve, depending on price!

Those are just 2 gallon pow cans. The flimsie was a single use 4 gallon can.

Sounds nasty, hope you get better soon. I have an old Merry Tiller rotavator but as I have no interest in gardening, I suspect I am fairly safe. As I sometimes say, the only time I have green fingers is when I have been painting parts... Son of Sherman will give you everything you need and there are plenty of pics on the net of Commonwealth Sherman III. The few books on British use tend to miscaption many of the photos so care is needed. I'm not sure I'm the man to write a book, I think it's much harder than it looks!

One thing to note is that VVSS idler brackets are handed so the clamp and spreader bolts are below the centre line. HVSS brackets are both the same so the LH side has the bolts below the centre and the RH bracket has them above it.

I'm so sorry to hear that Paul, it was an honour and privilege to meet him and be given the opportunity to take him for a ride in the Sherman. They truly were the greatest generation. RIP Frank.

Adrian Barrell replied to Diamond T's topic in HMVF Classifieds
Is this Andy's old rig? If so, my old trailer! Sorry to hear you're having to sell, hope you find a buyer. -
Bofors technical information ?
Adrian Barrell replied to rsuggitt's topic in Artillery & Anti-Tank Weapons
Clives literature covers the post war L70 series of guns. Your gun is the original Bofors L60 design. Even the early British built L60 is different to the original Swedish design, particularly in the carriage but also the ordnance, it being simplified for easier manufacture. -
They are actually later pattern turret switchbox master switches, not the vehicle master switch.

John, Rob Love knew of a couple your way a couple of years ago.

I know these haven't arrived yet but I have to say to Barry, bloody well done! People have been talking about doing this for years but you've stepped up and made it happen.

Looking for a T-34/85
Adrian Barrell replied to FW200's topic in Russian-Eastern block-Warsaw Pact Vehicles
I was told by a former Czech tank commander, who was involved with the historical side too that the wartime built T34s had a rounded nose. Nearly all the ones you see have the sharp nose yet they all seem to be built in 1944..... Is this like the number of jeeps that definitely landed on Omaha beach? -
They are for Dingo but I suspect you know that now!
-
Only the early guns had it, it was to break up the outline for camouflage but not on its own, more to drape netting or foliage.
-
The twin diesels in Sherman rotate the same way.
-
I might sell my D4 Andy, fitted with LaPlante Choate angle dozer. Runs and drives fine, restored some years ago.
-
It's for Cromwell and Comet tank.

Given your previous critical review of the earlier series, why did you bother to watch it this time?
