There are two ways you can go if you are going to do a full rebuild you can cut the spokes and then cut the rim from the tyre to save it. ore you can use boiling hot water and a lot of fairy liquid taking care not to bend the rim ore stretch the rubber as this will be on the hard side with not much give in it and this will make the tyre two big for the rim when it goes back on. But to start with I who’d place the wheel flat on the ground and use lots of WD40 on the joint between the rim and the tyre as there will be a lot of rust between them which will hold them together like concrete so take your time. but do you need to take it off at all . Cheers Bill :undecided:

Hi I use to have the federal riot gun we trained with it andit who’d go through the targets on the rang and leave a hole the size of yourhand in the target the rubber bullet who’d spin end over end when it leaves the gun.But the rioters soon learned the distance you cud fire it. As to the batteries I have been told you cud also remove the rubber bullet from its caseand put 1 or 2 old penne’s in and then put the bullet back in so I have been told. BILL:nut:

Not for purpose land rover catapult I don’t know if this will led to much I have just found this on the NI Forum land rover catapult and it got me thinking of the different types of kit that we used to try out and if it is still out there. I remember a loading shovel which the shovel was replaced with a steel plat and a roller on top for crowd control and me and some of the lads had to try it out is there any more kit out there that was built for one thing and used for something different. Bill :nut::nut::nut:

Thanks for the info I can say that I have fired something like this when I was in the army it was a Energa anti-tank rifle grenade which I fired from my SLR and I can say it had some kick back and yes one of the lads put it to his shoulder and went arse over tit :nut:. Cheers Bill

A list of basic colours is shown over the page.) un quote So if it is any help to anyone hear is the list of the colours. Cheers Bill BEIGE. – BLACK. –BLUE. – BRONZE. – BROWN. – CREAM. – GREEN. – GREY. – GOLD. – MAROON. – MULTI/COLOURED.– ORANGE. – PINK. – PURPLE. – RED. – SILVER. – TURQUOISE. – WHITE. – YELLOW .
