Catch 22 LBDR

I found my master cylinder banjo bolt burred in a box of rusty Quad bolts. It is a bit pitted and where I am sure it will work fine I would still like to replace it. Does anyone have one?

Any of the items listed still for sale?

How is this restoration coming on?

Pictures!

Hi, i'm sooooooo jealous. I don't suppose this item is for sale? . Is there any chance you could p.m me some detailed photograph's and maybe some dimensions from you? Regards Ross

I put the wheels back on today. I also assembled and fitted the Brake master cylinder. I got the master cylinder repair kit on ebay. Mixed feelings about the kit. It was listed as a C8 compatible part and it came from south America. It came a lot faster than I had expected (about 10 days) and it included the piston. However the "stop" washer and circlip were very flimsy and were too small so I had to reuse the old washer and get a new circlip for it. It also came with an extra rubber washer that I have know idea what it is for. It was about 4mm thick and the same diameter as the bore of the cylinder and it had a small hole in the centre, about 3 or 4mm. I can only guess that the kit can also be used in other cylinders and that is what the part is for. I didn't fit it on my one so I hope it stops! :nut: Does any one have a spare banjo bolt for the back of the master cylinder, I am also missing the drain bung, also on the back of the cylinder? battery went flat on the phone so no pictures this week. :computerrage:

Hi Guys. Can any one help me out with some pictures of the clocks in the dash. I am trying to source the correct clocks but more often than not I need a visual comparison to compare to. Speedomoter head, Smiths "FA" non-trip, back drive. Oil pressure Gauge. Smiths X.20847 "Pointer" or Tomey's "Eureka". Ammeter. Lucas BM type L Thanks Ross

Re painted the wheels and painted the front body frame work. I am Wattling for the dash panel to come back from the welder, it's too light for me to repair. I will put the wheels back on it next week and hopeful fit the dash and floor panel's too. I should have some more pictures up hear soon:D

Exactly the kind of pictures I was looking for, only wrong radios. Thanks anyway:(

Any pictures of how the radio was fitted. Have found little or no info on this so far. Thanks Ross

Hi Rob,I would say that the Irish limbers were heavily modified to suit what ever guns they had at that time, and there have bean quite a few. Including the French 75 and the 4.5. If the one I saw (that they are calling an 18 pdr limber) is in fact a 75 limber then there is a good chance that no genuine No 29 limbers have survived, but I will look into it some more. Is there any chance I could get some dimensions/drawings of your limber please?:-D Thanks Ross

The one that I saw was much different. It opened up from the front instead of the back like most limbers and has fittings on top to carry a gun ring much like the 25Pdr limber.

Not much to see this week, so no pictures. I fitted the tow hitch spring. Levelled off the main body and bolted it down And I made up part of the flooring plates.:-D

Your a great man for making up tools. A fine bit of work there in removing all 6 wheel stations:sweat:. The oil seals for the ferret were easily got from UK suppliers, I would have thought they would have ones for the Saladin. Keep up the good/hard work, love the thread:-D. Ross

Rear axle

Yes, there are considerable differences between the Irish ones and the British ones but they started out as standard British ones that where later upgraded with the Martin Perry conversion. I would be interested in acquiring the Martin Perry conversion Kit you have mentioned. Could you P.M me with more information please.

Hi Rob, Nice job with the gun. I am working on an Irish Army Morris Quad at the moment and am hoping to recreate an 18 pounder limber for it to pull. You seam to be a man in the know and thought you might be able to help me out. :-D Check out my thread on hear: http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?42481-18-pounder-limber Regards Ross

Why this particular radio Robin, Clansman is much easer to get hold of. We had two 352's fitted in our Spartan's in the Army.

Working on the Dash/bulkhead.

Is there anyone who lives near hear who could get a few dimensions off it as I live in Ireland.

I would take it on in a heart beet, but I am heavily committed to saving a Morris Quad at the moment that is soaking up my spare cash like a sponge:(. Do you think the owner will part with it? some more pictures would be nice to get an Idea if the chassis is in reasonable condition or not.

This weeks work. Finished off the front floor frame. and started stripping down the front bulkhead/dash.

Do we know who made them?

Fitted the body last week but only got to take some pictures this week. I have also repaired and fitted the engine frame. I also reassembled the draw bar spring.

Chassis and body painted with the new top coat colour.
