Yeh, it was a great place to look round, I think it was 1983 I went there for Jeep spares. There was an article in Wheels and Tracks about the CMP'S. Yeh nowt there now only the Militant, shame

Hey Mtskull,

I guess that you are talking about the Brickworks in Bingley? Yeh they had allsorts of stuff there in the 80's. I'm not sure, but I think the Militant is the only MV left.

That is a Canadian Chevrolet C8 

Isn't it a HUP?

Make that 13 Chinooks, one flew over Keighley at 3 o'clock yesterday, it was bloody low!!

I was driving on the M65 near the Blackburn A666 junction on Saturday driving west towards Colne. Couldn't belive my eyes,

on the back of a lorry was a Wessex. I tried to get the wife to take a photo, but no luck. I got off at the next junction, then came back on, hoping to be behind it, but I think that he must of got of at the same junction. I don't think that it was in great condition, wonder where it was going?

Ron,

She's looking mighty fine, and Ben, your going to have one nice and rare bike. Hope to see it in the fleash one day.

Dave

Hi Ron and Steve,

Thank you both for your answers, sounds very interesting about the slots in the reflector and the amp meter. 

Guess that I don't need to get a new glass, Ron, it does look very nice 

Dave

Ron,

I was wondering about the Dome versus the Flat glass on the CZ27? I have one that has a flat glass but was wondering if it should have the Domed type? My M20 is Sept 1940. Ron, you have done a nice job on the guage, all the lettering rubbed off mine, and had to get a sticker printed.

Dave

Hi Ron and Steve,

Sorry Ron, I would like to know about the CZ, but don't want to clog your thread up about BSA's, so I will post on Henk's site.

Dave

Thanks for the recommenation Ron, I never thought of the body shop.

Yeh, I can remember when Nitromors used to sting, especially when you get it your eye I wear eye protection now.

Dave

Hi Ron,

Glad that you are on the mend.

What sort of paint stripper are you using? It looks to work great, I don't think that Nitromos is all that cracking anymore.

Dave

Yes I took out the middle bar of the carrier front. It wasn't needed on this bike.  Ron

Thanks Ron,

Need to do the same on mine.

Dave

Hi,

You could also try on this forum, it was at first for BSA M20's, but any WD bikes are welcome. You don't need to sign in, just post you question.

Dave

Hi Ron,

Did you butcher the outer battery carrier, by taken out the middle bar, like on early M20's.?

Dave

Thanks Steve

Dave

Hi Steve,

Just wondering if it was OK to use the photo of the Dodge Command Car, or you could post it, in Batmobiles Resto  CC on the G503.?

Cheers, 

Dave

Hi Richard,

Thanks for your reply, I have heard of them, but wasn't too sure on the quality of their work. Which of your GPW's speedo did they repair? I have a long needled Stewart Warner that needs doing, along with other guages for my 42 GPW.

Any photos, before and after?

Thanks again,

Dave

the tilly that was used was owned by a late family friend, when they used it ,it was left with rock salt in the back , was returned in a very sorry state . filmed at blackpool airport in some shots ,

Sorry to drag this old post up, never saw it 1st time around.

Was that Tilly owned by John Brown? Barrie Ryan bought it, then sold it on. One of the Jeeps, was owned by Patrick Hargreaves. I think that they filmed some up at Yeadon, or Leeds/Bradford airport.

Dave

Hi Richard,

Did you ever get your Speedo done? If so what sort of work did you have done to it? Needing mine doing.

Dave

Going to see the show at the MEN on the 8th, hope that it hasn't been messed about with too much.

Dave

Hi Steve,

If I was you, I would remove them over-large bleed nipples on your brake cylinders. I don't like them,

in fear that they may snap off:mad: Mini ones should fit.

Regards,

Dave

Hi Phil,

I thought that Mal Guerning owns Bobs old Dorchester now.

Dave

Hi '

I would recommend looking on Jeepdraw on the G503.com. There is a GPW of Al Brass that has tons of photos including handbrake cable routing.

Dave

Hi Willys,

I saw the Diamond on the Prom a lot of years ago, got a photo somewhere, not a good one though:( Did you know that Corgi made a model of it a while ago?
