I see you got featured in the landrover mag this month...well done...looks good!!!

Paul,

sounds like you have been on the tipple and got all emotional

I do agree though, I dont think there is a question that cannot be answered on here.

Mick

I am guessing this would do the trick? The bore of the pump appears to be ~17mm

It does, and verge nice, but I am really after the seals and plunge washer.

Thanks tony, I assume they are just standard size parts then?

Does anyone know where I can get a service kit? I want to make sure all the washers etc are new before firing it up (the plunge washer is def knackered).

Its a No2, MK2 modified.

Cheers

Mick

I had a look at your Tactica while there, first time I had seen one in the flesh....they never appealed to me when I saw them on the Withams site, but in the flesh...what a stonking bit of kit (although the Withams ones had all the armour stripped off?).

Really nice...want one!

is it/can it be road registered? Whats it like to drive....looks like a nightmare with all that wiring under the floor!!!

the blow off valves are on the top, so they should only fit in the correct position.

I will be getting there sometime tomorrow with the 101 club.

Great show, fantastic fireworks, cheap (and good) beertent and probably the biggest collection of CVRTs anywhere...and I would guess almost every variant!!

Not often you see two Saladin's at one show...very nice!

See you there Simon...get David to put the kettle on

Head gasket on the way out?

Just resolved an issue on the 101. Coolant gas test was negative, no water on oil, leak down test negative, but under load/speed coolant was being pumped through the rad cap.

Head gasket was corroded at one end of the head at the water jacket and pressure from cylinder was being pushed into coolant.

Apparently not uncommon on a rover V8, but mabe worth considering on the B60?

I am sure there is a very valid reason why there was a single track into and out of the entire site, but I struggle to think what it was. Also, funnelling all inbound traffic through the carpark at the entrance seemed odd. Made the Marshalls job 10x harder.

I would say almost 6ft at the high end. Mine certainly goes up that high with the floor still touching the ground

Thats another channel to avoid then! What an annoying show!

I am intrigued! Molasses? Is that like putting a penny in Coke...?

What is he doing, getting all the rust and corrosion off?

Works for me!

Hi Chris,

you will be hitting probably the largest show in Europe at that time. the War and Peace Revival.

Its a quick train journey from London, with the station virtually on site. Check out the shows board.

Mick

When you had the prop-shaft connected, did the other wheel on that side of the ferret rotate, or was that also locked?

Trying the escertain if the input to the bevel box is free, and its something further along the drive-chain towards to wheel station thats is broken and seized

Don't ask how I found it, totally bizarre:

The youtube clip had me scratching my head and laughing....will look forward to the UK airing Those Australians, I love them, we have so much in common when it comes to humour!!!

Clive,

so 40 manhours, about 47 elements, so the best part of an hour to set up each block. Must be quite a complicated structure?

Is the wire the actual structure, or is it layed inside each element? The fact that it takes the best part of an hour to build each 3x3 square seems to suggest the elements are "wound" or made out of the wire?

Mick

Is the berm in front of them to conceal it until its too late for the horses to see it, collapsable tops, containing rope or something to tangle their hoofs (hooves.....horses feet!!!!)

Mick

You had that up for sale...at a very good price I must say and surprised it did not go quicker (I would have if I knew it would not end in divorce).

Did you sell it in the end?

Paul,

is this at your normal workplace where I dropped the ferret off? Looking forward to this as it really is only up the road from me. Nothing like a bit of armour porn on your doorstep

Mick

I would say in picture 2, you can see the hook holding the band is standing way off, so its that gear...maybe 1st? I have a feeling it cannot be top gear as all bands are engaged in that gear?

I may be totally wrong on both counts, and be banned from the forum for talking rubbish....goodnight!!

I have to admit, I always toggled the gears in mine, and made sure it was in neutral before starting...surely you would have smelt something (not you...whoever left it running)!!!

Yes they allow access to off road course. They did not allow ferrets last year for some reason, maybe they thought they would destroy the course. They have reconsidered for this year and ferrets are allowed back on

will be there with a group of 101s

Is it laid down on a table for mapping or location, or is it attached to a vehicle or weapon system?
