I have a steam capstan winch of a ww2 ship about 3 tons and a engine about 2 tons near to Toronto would you have room and weight for these?

Hi just called them,the smallest brake lining diameter they can bo is 300mm /12 inch.

thanks for the heads up worth a try.

Hi does anyone know of a company? or some one that does brake shoe grinding in the uk.

or has any one got a brake shoe grinder for sale.

have been looking at the Ammco 890 machine but I can only find in the USA for sale.

the shoes I need doing are 9 inch 

thanks mark

Nearest I can think of is 1/2" 18 tpi  uns (unified special) used for special purposes 

is it a tapper thread or is it a flanged plug?

Hi thanks Alastair for the link I don't know if it's the angle of the picture but looks like they removed the cheese wedge turret counter weights.

Do you have a link to where the M10 is on display in Russia?

So it is easier to to hire a 17 ton truck in the usa and drive to Canada and back which is what I have done (no Idp needed) then it is to drive to holland!

Apparently motor vechiles over 2500 kgs gross vehicle weight have to be lit between sunset and sunrise and no parking 10 meters or less to a road junction.

so in theory a l322 Range Rover which has a kerb weight of 2.7 ton needs lights on at night when parked!

The test is done on the public road and the company uses 432 so it's not a one off 

the examiner knows the type of vechile used by this company just wondering if you had a choice company with 432 or company with cvrt would you be better off with cvrt as no possible kick backs?

If you pass you h test in a vechile that is not legal on the road as people say on this form due to width ie 432 can you License ever be revoked ?

I have a Harvey frost recovery crane you can have for free if you want it.

If your Harley is a wlc/wla and  is a  standard one with under frame bash plate then a long ramp is needed or a tilt frame bike trailer otherwise the under frame bash plate will ground out .

a single bike trailer or a three bike trailer will give you the width needed as a twin bike trailer unless out of the ordinary does not give enough room foot board to trailer wheel guard and angle of tie down straps not good on one side.

Wanted a pair of snow chains to fit 10.50x10 m274 mule tyres.

thanks mark

I have clutches fly wheels and transfer cases complete or just the gears if you have the casings.

this would be the cheaper way to build a twin set but have no spare fan drives.

if you are offered a twin set make sure it is a tank set up as industrial 6-71 twin sets look similar but transfer case is different ie geared down also if it has come from a quad pack may turn the wrong way, fine if you do not care adout top speed but you would still need to figure out cooling fans unless you have the fan drives and gears for cam shaft to drive them.

if you get offered or see for sale twin sets if you want send me or post pictures will be able to tell if it is industrial or tank set up,as have seen industrial twin set advertised as ww2 tank unit.

i do have a couple of twin sets tank units complete and know of 3 others that are the owners may sell if offered the right money to part with them.

alao have a industrial twin set if you want to go slower and cheaper!

Are you looking for the complete twin pack or just engines to build up a twin pack?

ie you have the transfer case and clutches but no engines.

Hi does it matter which way they rotate?

turbo or non turbo.

Did the 19 set come out of the factory with a watch or is this a accessory added after?

Hi it was last year I looked at it. 

I was interested in it more cos it was auto and especially as it had a Detroit 6-71 but could not agree on a part trade value against my m1070.

shame as I would have liked to see how well it went?

Hi if ever you are passing crouch recovery he did have a 981 with power steering and a detroit 6.71 with Allison auto if he still has it you could call him ask to see it you could copy the same set up for the power steering.

Hi if anyone has a no 43 sight for sale let me know.

I have a good no 51 LC whatever that fits?

@ 1.50 woman working around unguarded flat belt !

Hi is there a correct make and model of pocket watch that fits the round watch holder on the front of a 19 set in British use in ww2?

i have seen Elgin and Harris  and some other make made in London so the face says which had the arrow on the back,is it that many can fit but they are not the correct?

One on eBay uk new £1500 or offers 

Hi have a Sabre, regersted good condition good tracks £28k

Hi if the switch is the same as in the jag petrol cvrt sabre then there is a sprung loaded piston in the cylinder behind the operating lever.

when you move lever to indicate left or right it moves the piston against the spring which then returns slowly this is the timer part.

there is a small screw in the raised centre of the cylinder that adjusts air flow in to the cylinder,which is how you adjust how long the piston returns to its start position (indicators off).

on mine the piston was returning quickly as piston felt was dry used light oil on the felt and all was good again,did buy new switch in case but not needed as still working ok.
