    What information do you have to give them and is there a cost ?

    Brake testing of vehicles not suitable to go on a rolling road is carried out using a Tapley meter in a dynamic test.

    Here is the trailer and tank on the day I collected it.

    It was a one off...I bought the trials test trailer and Centurion ARV of the official reciever of Bedford /AWD a few years after the project. Will find a picture and post one day.

    No sorry Andy have not got a spare one. If you are planning on putting it on a 432 you need to strengthen the mudguard as well as the 434 mudguard on that side is made of thicker steel to support the step.

    Remember those days well Bob, you very kindly were allowing me to restore my Mk 3 ANTAR at your premises. Antar was there for 4 years July 88 to August 92 when I boldly took it on its first trip out to Stoneleigh Warwickshire under its own power...young and confident.

    Ah the CET holy grail...not originals but I have all the drawings to do a batch of copies at some stage. Why do you want them Mike ? Are you involved with CETs ?

    New Arrival

    The chimney is also emitting the air which circulates the transmission and engine compartments to stop build up of fumes in the hull and provide additional cooling. Its drawn in by a fan driven by the same belt drive for the alternator and air con pump. I have loads of CET CES if you want any Paul.

    Excellent film clip David, although I have seen plenty of Martian artillery tractors I hve never seen an RL gun tractor as also seen in the film.

    The perkins v8 was chosen for its high rpm (2800) you have to remember that the Martian drive train was matched to a petrol engine which revved to 3750 rpm, difficult to match to any diesel, guess the L10 would top out at 2300 rpm giving a max road speed less than 30mph !

    I had a very nice Martian Recovery for a few years, it had been retrofitted with a Perkins V8 540 diesel engine. Would just about get itself to 30mph on a flat motorway...if it even saw a slight incline you were down below 20mph. Once towed a Scammell Explorer from Preston down the M6 to Stockport... at one point on the motorway we were down below 5mph... very scary and never again. Also had a Artillery Tractor with the B81 petrol...possibly the one you mentioned being off roaded.

    He's a good guy he was with us on Sunday while we were working on this.

    Rick....I cannot see Mark in any pictures !

    I took my H licence a few years ago in a Scorpion partly on the public highway...niether the instructor nor the examiner mentioned a speed limit for tracked vehicles !
  22. antar
    Why bother nobody takes any notice of this limit anyway... even the Army, often see 432 driver training vehicles running from Bordon at far greater than 20 mph, go up the A1 to Caterick and exactly the same there CVRTs doing well in excess of 20 mph.

    When you say you have a mechanic coming to look at it next month... who is he ? My friend who is a Chieftain specialist will be in Oregon next month continuing the rebuild of the last Chieftain sold from Withams, for the USA owner.

    Fault is likely to be electical, could be either end but mote likely to be at the connections at the solenoid bank on the gearbox, or actual solenoids stuck. Has it stood for some time without being run ?

    Just for the record I did not post a price for the GUE, the posts seem to have got a bit mixed up. If anyone should need a new GUE the one I have for sale is £1250.
