Any pictures of Ferret MK2/3 06-CC-27?

Hi all,

Our beaver could do with a new clutch - can anyone point me in the right direction? I have been told that they have a multiple plate clutch, and have been advised to put a single plate in it - Is this true? If so what cover assembly should I use?

Thanks, Simon.

I wonder if they fancy taking a few days out to look at my ferret when they're done... :cool2:

incredible work.

Hi Simon, that is a useful looking vehicle. I have not seen them with the artic cab before. Do you know how many were made with cabs ? Have you had it long ?

Regards David.

Thank you, I have been told that only 6 were made - it sounds quite unlikely, but I haven't seen another.

I have also read elsewhere that a handful were made for the MOD operating in Norway? again - I don't know how true that is.

Its seems to be an oddity and it will be getting restored and used, its in good condition and has been kept very original. There is cab heater and a few modifications to engine to aid cold weather starting.

I have owned it for less than a month, the picture I uploaded was it being delivered

Starting at 14:40 there is footage of Falklands Eager Beavers. there is a clear shot of the registration of one of them but I cant slow it down to get it.

That is great footage! I see what you mean, every time I paused it, the reg was just a blur - I am hoping to get someone to look at it frame by frame to read the reg.

This is the sten mk3 in question - it has two numbers: S68 - E74169

Hi all,

Couple of pictures of my EB fitted with arctic cab

Hi all,

Can you tell me how, if possible to date/find out where it was issued to?

Hi all,

Does anyone have any in service pictures of the beaver? - More specifically, the rarer vehicles fitted with cabs and winter kit- As I believe, they were all originally posted to Norway?

I am on a desperate hunt for pictures and information on '02 FZ 88' I can post a current picture of the forklift if that helps?

Hmm - so is that a Section 5 weapon?

Being a disposable launcher I have been assured it is deemed as a spent case - there is nothing inside, its just a plastic pipe and it cannot be re-used

if it is not ot cheeky, how much did you pay?

 

Mark

No, not cheeky at all, I think it was £80

Before the holidays I purchased my first British MV - Ferret Mk2/3 - It is in decent shape all things considered even though its not running. Other vehicles I own - 81' 712 Pinzgauer, M151a2, M35A2C, M274 Mule, CJ750 and last but not least a 1994 Hyster 4,000lb military forklift. I will be asking many questions in the near future.

Great to see a another fellow MUTT owner, welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the last MV Forum youll ever use.........:wow::cheesy:

Wolfy, I like that!! - Welcome, a lovely looking jeep you have there, I'm afraid I'm more of a 'MUTT nut' - someones got to be :nut:

stollys are a great choice, there where two on the IOW £1000 the pair, needless to say they disappeared pretty quickly for that money! the ad is still on milweb - I looked at them and was tempted to buy them myself but decided to avoid the wrath of the good lady - I bought the eager beaver on the ad instead!

you are correct

Cheers for that.

i just got one but its missing the sling but i am after a few more any chance of a name of a shop or anyone know of any more for sale as i need 2-3 more

can't remember the name of the shop? Afraid it was a one off though, it belonged to a worker and he let the shop display on the wall.

I guess the sling and cap gets lost when its flies off prior to being fired. I'll keep my ear to the ground for another tube, I was only after one to display with my MUTT - pm me if you want me to send some pictures/measurements of the sling and cap, would be fairly easy to make a new one up.

The chap that sold it to me reckoned it was heat seeking but am I right in thinking that 'HEAT' stands for 'high explosive anti tank'

afternoon all,

After a mosey round a surplus shop I stumbled across this and bought it.

Am I right in thinking L1A3B1 was the English designation for the M72 LAW?

Here are the pictures, what do you think?

This A2 has a common problem, repair section after repair section just welded on top of each other, this has created massive mud and water traps, not only rusting away the floors, battery tray etc, but also corroding the 'main chassis rails' in localized areas.

The only solution is cut everything and start from scratch, The more rust you cut, the more you find, this vehicle looked better than it was, but it is still well worth restoring, this vehicle will require a lot of metal work (the one pictured on its side earlier in the thread) but is actually quite straight.

Pile so far... we have a horrible feeling it will grow considerably :-/

Champs are great! If you ever get stuck for parts for a future project, I have over 2champs worth of spares disassembled in the shed, you'd be welcome to come and have a rifle through them!

Welcome to the forum!

Simon.

 

I've been told its when the engine parts creep into the dishwasher the real trouble starts :shocked:

Good man, its when you start sneaking it indoors the trouble starts - I currently have 2 newly painted U.S. jerry cans sitting on the aga drying, the good lady did not see the funny side, I think the fact she tripped over a mutt grill in the porch before realizing them there was catalyst enough for the cold shoulder, needless to say, I ended up cooking my own dinner tonight. :whistle:

Welcome, great to have you aboard - a snatch restoration thread would be great, give it a go!

Simon
