Hi Just ventured into the workshop and can tell you it is 1/2 inch or 12mm thick Sorry about the orientation

Welcome to the forum mate Lots of good chaps on here with plenty of advise ............ Jules

Top man. ! Thanks

Yes, the same Tom, or you could be really really helpful and knock up 3 sets for us!

Sadly I have no side panels, for this CS8 or my PU project which has the same engine and layout. I'm going to have to manufacture two sets! Jules

my 1940 CS8 has a tin foot well, wooden planks up to it then thin tin with the well inside it.

Hi Guys i know this is not easily answered but just wanted to gauge peoples thoughts............. as some of you are following my thread on the restoration of my MCC PU you will know that the engine is the same as the MCC CS8 i'm still in the early stages of running the engine and checking the carb setting etc, However, every time i run the engine, i get a lot of oil dripping out of the bell housing weep hole, now i'm told there is no seal ? but only an 'Oil Thrower' ? i did not actually rebuild the engine, it was done for me earlier in the year, but of course until it had oil and ran, it did not present a problem. so my question is, should there be a seal ? could the 'thrower' be faulty ? but more importantly, can this be remedied from the bottom end, i.e. not having to take the engine out ? and no, i have not over filled the oil, i have good pressure when running ( only run it for 4 - 6 minutes at a time) Jules

Hello Keith good to see you on the Forum mate. Jules

Hi Charlie Yes, your right is was the same vehicle, being worked on by Rick W. Jules

Sorry better add the photos

Hi guys I recently found these two Solex Carbs with 40 AIP -2 on them, it was thought they were 6 cylinder Humber, but they are not. Can anyone identify which vehicle they fit ? Cheers Jules

Andy where did you get that from ? i'd like to read that. Jules

Ian if your looking for a new Shot blasting company, i discovered we have one based at Bicester Heritage, who seem very helpful. Jules

Hi, yes I did have an MWC a few years ago , but sold a while back, I have had an MW since then and enjoy driving it. Jules

Is that Steve Simms Ian ?

Thank for your offer Rustexpert, I'm sure some on here will be thankful. Jules

I have a large collection of original WW2 uniforms, and though I keep them in reasonably sealed clear plastic zip up covers, I'm always concerned about cloths moth. I used to be able to buy the old fashioned Moth Balls, very smelly but they worked well, trouble is now they are illegal, there are some poor quality lookalikes sold on eBay that smell like the originals when you open the packet but the smell disappears within days. So I'm trying to gauge what other people use ? You can get sprays but I'm not sure about spraying onto valuable uniforms ? Jules

a couple of photos taken yesterday along side it's stablemate

Hello Ray Welcome to the forum This is very interesting but I think you will be very lucky to find any of these chaps. Have you tried to see if there is a 38 squadron assioation ? If so they may have details of those still alive. Regards Jules

saw your C8 departing Kidlington yesterday morning Ian................ Jules

Well I'm not going this year, no particular reason, just lost a bit of interest in it, might just go for a day though to trawl the stalls Jules
