    Guys, a small announcement. A new regional area has been established, the Huntingdon & District Area of the Military Vehicle Trust. Initially covering approximately a 25 mile radius from Huntingdon this will encompass the cities of Peterborough (to the north) and Cambridge (to the SE). http://www.mvt.org.uk/area_pages/huntingdon.html Details of the inaugural meeting have yet to be finalised, but initial thinking is to hold it on the evening of either the first or second Thursday in Jan 2012 in Huntingdon (venue TBA) . Formal letters of invitation will be sent out to all members in the locale in the next week or so. Kind regards to all Ian

    Must confess I'd like a Dodge as well. Like you time, money and space are the tiny tiny blocking issue ! LOL

    Sorry to hear the news. I hope they get caught and hurt in the process...

    Visited Pirtek yesterday afternoon. They didn't have any of the correct end fittings in stock, however they were able to re-use the ones off the old pipe Here's a pic of the Pirtek one (top) along side the 'standard' pipe. I asked them to make it an inch or so longer than the old pipe. Good thing I did, as the pipe is quite a bit thicker, and therefore doesn't bend as well. Hopefully it will fit when I try it out this coming Friday. N.O.S. As you can see from the pic the one RW supplied is just over 6" long. Is it any use to you ? PM me if you want it, and we can talk price and postage arrangements. Richard sounds like yours is a 'standard' set-up. Wonder why mine's different ? I can only speculate that perhaps the pipe from the gauge has been damaged at some stage and therefore had to be replaced (unfortunately with a longer piece). Kind regards to all Ian

    Richard It has become clear that my truck is a slight odd-ball in this department, and that I'm going to have to get a none-standard part made up. It will be interesting to see how your 352 is configured. What do you know of the history regarding yours ? Kind regards Ian

    N.O.S. Thanks for the picture and your thoughts, much appreciated. I'll measure up the one RW supplied, and you can see if it will fit yours. I've rung Pirtek in Peterbrough this morning and time permitting will go over this lunch time see what they say. Kind regards Ian

    David Thanks for your thoughts. I suspect mine is ex French as the engine has been repainted green at some time, but that is just a hunch, can't say for certain. My options would appear to be: 1. Shorten the pipe from the gauge, to get the flexi pipe to fit. 2. Get a new flexi pipe made up at a firm in Peterborough called Pirtek. 3. Do nothing... Option 2 is my current preferred course of action as I don't have a tool to shorten the pipe. I shall sleep on it. Kind regards Ian
  12. Vulture
    N.O.S Happy about the rationale for having a flexi pipe there, less so that I've forked out £20 for one that won't fit ! :shocked: (sigh)
  13. Vulture
    Richard Could you do me favour and measure the length for me please. (End of fitting to end of fitting) Many thanks Ian

    Guys As I posted last weekend the flexy pipe linking the oil pipe on the engine to the oil pressure gauge failed. http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?27596-This-Was-Not-In-The-Plan-For-The-Day-! I ordered a replacement from Rex Ward which arrived yesterday. On trying to fit it this morning I find that its either too long, or too short. Its not long enough to curl round like the old one, and not short enough to easily link the two pipes. At the moment if I force the issue, it will kink the the pipe. :-( Any ideas whats going on here ? (deep sigh) Kind regards to all Ian Photo 1 - Original set-up Photo 2 - Failed attempt with new pipe Photo 3 - Comparison of pipes

    As the Noob to GMCs round here, I'll put my hand up and say I can't see the deliberate mistake.... Looks just like the drawing....I think... (scratch head)

    So presumably you ended up getting recovered as well, or were you able to fix by the road-side ?
