carefull chris jack was working out hot to stop a reverse the other day saying a champ should stop it

:confused:[:confused:[

Hey - it is working!! This was today!!!

 

.

 

It's not moving :rofl:Look at all the junk inside

I'll have to go and buy one :shake:

Thats the one,cheers CW.Have you seen me in M/Machines:cool2::yay:

No :rofl:

There's no voltage stabliser. They move around a bit while driving.Mine varies by about 1/4 depending weather up or down hill

Hi CW, do you know about the navy boat being lived in at shoreham harbour just down the road from the higgins boat?

 

It a Schutze class minesweeper. the old boat was a farimile D (MTB682)

I know they can be a pain to work on, but they certainly have a lot of advantages over a Landy.

Look at the suspension on a Champ, look at the suspension on a Landy? That says it all really!

They're not that difficult to work on

Thank you both. Is there any way from here that I can find out what unit it served in?

As far as I know only if you can find anywhere an in service photo

Chris,

 

They do state that it will seal cracks and leaking core plugs, as well as rads. The company is down your way, at Plumpton, website is www.kalimex.co.uk

 

I'll have to give it a try. Tried most other things. This is on the E type not the Champ. I was in one of their stockists to day

Bill Munro's book states that AEC were chosen as the design parents and AEC made a mild steel hull as a test bed for the engine,transmission & suspension

Hi Stuart,

 

Cooling system sealers have come along way, modern ones do not solidify in the radiator core, like the old Barseal "dog turd". Those things were a curse where someone had a persistant leak and they kept adding another one to the rad. One I use now is K-Seal, which has ceramic micro fibres and copper in a solution and will only seal where it finds a leak.

Would it be any good for a cracked block thats been brazed/welded and is weeping?

They're in Birmingham unfortunatly can't remember the cost paid cash at Beaulieu.

Hi Simon

Welcome to the friendly forum

I had a pair of brake hoses made up by Stevson Motors Tel. 0121 472 1702

Have you got your bit of asbestos ready?

 

That firm in the Midlands who do the brake pipes also make a repro pig exhaust system. But I've never seen one in use & don't know what it consists of..

Is this supplier know for champ bits?

Andy's just noticed all the dead flies in his bread :rofl:

If CW made the sandwich " You could have washed first"

If PW "nice sandwich any more?"

:rofl:

Welcome Didz something PW would do you nicely :-D

Have you got (if it uses one) a head gasket or valve problem? Only when the Champ went on the road for the first time Lots of running problem no power when hot and two split silencers due to a blown head gasket.

Good luck Mike lets hope they got it right

Look thats unfair! Rambo cant help being from London!

One less for cake :rofl::rofl:

Wot me mate.no mate,to dangerous mate.highly iresponsable that sort of thing,

suposing the dingy had started leaking:shocked:leave that sort of thing to others:-D

You'll get wet :rofl::rofl:

According to my old hepolite catalogues there were 3 variations of pistons used

1. 3 ring piston with 2.. 1/8 wide compression rings & 1... 3/16 oil ring

this I belive is an early type

2. 3 ring piston with 2...3/32 wide compression ring & 1...3/16 oil ring

3. 4 ring piston as 2 but with an extra ring below the pin

I can get hold of a set of standard size cord rings for the 4 ring piston

Booked the time off work I think that there will be a few champs there

QUOTE=00EC25;126706]Oh CW if only they would silence Stirling, the borders would be so much nicer
