  1. The Caliper seals in question are known as "lathe cut seals" You can get them made at:- M Barnwell Services Ltd Unit 5 Windmill Business Park Windmill Road Clevedon BS21 6SR General Tel: +44 (0) 117 982 5245 At one time XMOD has the seals for the brake pistons (That's 3 pistons) As for Carlise - way too expensive! You may find some tractor brake pistons may fit and have suitable seals Diana
  2. Easy peasey Get a piece of thick plywood, bigger then the clutch shoe drum, bolt two or more long bolts into the plywood such as to stop the clutch shoe drum turning, place the drum over the long bolts, assembly the clutch shoes onto the drum and walk the spring on using a thin long screwdriver or a sharp pointed bar. There is a lot of tension in the springs, so take the usual safety precautions. The clutch liner retaining machine screws as previously mentioned are BSF reduced head so try to save your old screws for re use
  3. If the belt is rubbing on the fan side (ie Engine side) of the fan pulley flange you need to lower the gearbox by removing a shim from the gearbox holding bolt. This is the worst possible design I have ever seen, the belt position as I discovered can be altered by many variables, including belt tension!
  4. This is a standard item, I can't remember it's name, but it's easily available. Take the old one to a seal and bearing supplier to identify it. Diana
  5. Use Pet G, to replace the sight glass...the milky/white appearance is the effect of ethanol rubbish, Drain tank, undo bolts remove frame and you will see how easy it is to replace. I think I used either blue Hylomar or Permatex No3 to seal the joint between the glass and metal frame on my Spartan, no more problems!
  6. If you are using E5 or E10 (not a good idea) bio fuel the leak may have been caused by the fuel. PET(G) is resistant to these fuels and is suitable as a sight glass. They may also have eaten through the sealant used to seal the sight glass, as Chris suggests fix the leak maybe ?
  7. Ukrainian Social Club 154 Holland Park Avenue, London, W11 4UH Just sent some gear myself.. they will take military kit
  8. It would be an interesting situation if a road registered over width vehicle was involved in an accident and the police or other party realised it was over width...............
  9. Are you saying that the gearbox inhibit switch has been overridden? If so that is one really dangerous practice.
  10. Try this :- https://www.which.co.uk/money/tax/national-insurance/national-insurance-contributions-amy9d6y7gfwh
  11. I think you will find that from now on there will be NI to pay whatever age if you work. A few weeks ago I took my CVRT out, we went through a busy part of my area, my neighbour was astonished when a driver pulled out on front of me, I expect it, even driving a CVRT - seen it all before. Car and van drivers have no idea they are dicing with death challenging heavy vehicles and it's regular occurrence these days. "You will still have to put up with the idiots who carve you up and take responsibility for anything that goes wrong even if it is not your fault." Very true
  12. Having seen the "rebuilds of J60's", the "rebuilds of CVRT gearboxes" and after speaking to an ex army Helicopter mechanic in my street an ABRO rebuild is dodgy.
  13. The original throttle rod grommet in the drivers firewall for the J60 engine is unobtainable, however a Mercedes Bulk Head Firewall Cable Grommet A1232950183 is a pretty good replacement. Make sure it's lubricated and the throttle body arm lets the throttle rod out in a fairly straight line (may need to be bent a little) Diana
