No! A 376 is a monoblock carb. Ron

Rik. Martyn once told me that if a needle jet is not stamped. It will be a 106. I guess this must then be the standard jet that you mention. Ron

I'd be interested to hear the outcome. Ron

Jenk I don't know what you have fitted. But My 3SW/5SW spec quotes a 107 needle jet with a 120 main jet. But I'm sure Martyn Bratby will be able to help you with new parts. Phone him on 01543 572583 and mention my name (Ron Pier). If he doesn't answer, keep trying as he might be on his lathe/mill etc. It's also possible that you could fit a bigger main jet as they seemed to straggle these bikes in the name of fuel economy, but again ask Martyn. Ron

They seem to have hacked the front of the mudguards and the stowage box off? Ron

These are the tyres I fitted to my Tilly in 1990 (Blimey! 25 years ago!!!) 600x16 COLWAY remoulds. As used on early Landrovers and such. Lots of long trips by motorway to Southsea and lots of other shows in the early years and a tour in France for the 50th. I've geared up my diff so it will cruise all day at 50-55 (on the flat!) with no rumble or wander. I don't know if this style of T&C tyre is still available? I would hope so, as they look very much like the tyres fitted originally. Not many miles covered in the new century however as I tend to like my motorcycles these days. Ron

This is the way I did mine years ago. A bit fiddly but the cheap switch has worked well for thousands of miles. I have made better jobs on other bikes where I have made up a bracket and hung the switch, almost invisible under the pannier frame.....But not really possible on a CO. Ron

I have two Canadian 1 gall cans for my Universal Carrier. Ron

Pino, it's nothing I recognise from anything British WD WW2. Ron

Yes Rik that might have to be the case. But I have genuine switches on my Flea and MDD and Lex found a NOS switch in its box. So there was probably a glut of replacement switches, especially as the Velo contracts were curtailed so soon. It's worth a shout before I fit another type. Ron

Oh yes! there are hundreds of those replica civvy Miller switches around. Ron

I need a Miller switch like this or similar or parts of. Please let me know if you have anything to sell. Ron

Ha Ha! Yes indeed. I guess you would turn it sideways for firing off the back of a mule. But they must have trained the mule to stand still whilst aiming. Ron

The French had a thing for these! Jeeps, Mules, armoured vehicles and I've even seen one mounted in the back of a 2CV pick up. Ron

I would agree with that Simon. I guess as soon as any paint was applied in a REME workshop it would have been one of the BS colours. I can't image that they would have bothered re-painting them from new. Although they did waist time and money replacing the nice US sealed beam headlamps with the old Butler tractor headlamps. Just so the bulbs were replaceable I gather?? Ron

A few years after I acquired my British Army Jeep in 1986 I proceeded with a chassis up rebuild and respray in British Mid Bronze Green. As the years went by, it occurred to me that they would have gone into service in the colour that they were delivered in of course. So I've bought some of that nice Firwood brand US light Olive from Jeep Parts UK and am trying to stop rebuilding motorcycles long enough to lift the body off for another re-paint job. Ron

When I bought my Morris PU back in the 80's, it came with a Morris Minor SU pump mounted in the engine bay. I assumed that the original Autovac system (disconnected but still mounted in the cab ) must have been unserviceable. I ran it like that for years. Then one day I decided to reconnect the Autovac, and it's worked fine ever since. However I've still retained the SU pump in the system as an emergency back up (now hidden though). Ron

Out of interest, I just googled Morris Minor 1,000,000. Ron

Yes as Richard says The Morris Minor and Mini for starters, not to mention 1000's and 1000's of Jags. I can well remember the Lilac coloured Morris Minors that were badged as Morris Minor 1,000,000 when that number was reached......Showing my age!! Ron

Live dangerously! Millions of cars were produced without the need for the fuel pump to switch off automatically. Ron

I worked as a motor mechanic in the 60's/70's. A Morris Minor is an equivalent size engine and they always had an SU electric fuel pump mounted on the bulk head. Mini's and Jags for instance had them at the rear of the vehicle and were therefore pushing rather than pulling and I think were rated differently. They all had to be mounted horizontal. So I would just buy the one suitable for a Moggy as they must still be available above all others and mount it in the engine bay. Ron

The 3HW has a tin chain case, like the one sown on Ebay. A 3SW has an ally chain case. Another source of oil leak on either type is at the back of the inner chain case where the gearbox/clutch is. Both mine have leaked here despite how good a seal I get at the main jointing faces. Ron

I got mine for my universal carrier from Tim Green http://gsparkplug.com/ Ron

Jim I also have a 741B. Unfortunately there are no records that I know of that list frame numbers. Although Contract and census numbers do exist, there is no way of tying your bike to any of them without the frame number. Thousands were sent to Australia and New Zealand as well as UK and most of our other colonial destinations. So I'm afraid it's artistic licence as far as markings go. But please 'NO US MARKINGS' apart from testing one or two, the US Army didn't use them. If you're in the States?

UNCORKED?? Have you been at the wine again? Ron
