Hello, on most of the pictures with a dispatch rider armed with a sten gun on the back it is mostly without the magazine in the gun and if they are wearing dispatch rider boots you can seen the magazine in the boot. If you drive a bike with a sten gun on your back the magazine sticks always out.I know it because I tray to do it. Guy

Hello, after following this discussion about these brackets in the cabin made a little test. Not sure if it is for a machete, but it fits very nice.

On the way back from W&P there was a blow by somewhere on the exhaust system and dint improve after tighten up the downpipe. After a little investigation it was obvious that the gasket between the cylinder head and exhaust manifold started to go. Took the manifold of and had it flatten and now it is back in place and hopefully stays silent. Guy

:mad::mad: K5 cylinder head gasket :mad::mad: well done on 1st place for your QL restoration Guy. Thanks Ian for the nice company with your fiends and really enjoyed to work on the Austin, outer ways I was spending to match money on the jumble! Great to be with such a nice bunch of people and if we can keep Tom motived he will even be more crazier then us on military vehicles .The future looks bright with these lads in to Military vehicles!! See Tom enjoying his drive in the passenger seat. Guy

Now problem Bill the spare parts for the QLT are on there way to a new project, nice to know that other people take up the challenge to keep a QL Bedford on the road! Guy

Thanks Scott for these really super pictures, I was mostly behind the steering wheel and therefore don't have match action pictures. I really enjoyed my trip and met a bunch of like-minded people from the forum. Thanks everybody for the nice comments on the QL and the interesting chat I had with a lot of you. I don't can forget Ian and his company as he kept us a nice spot on there MVT group spot and now I know how to replace a cylinder head gasket on a Austin K5;) Guy

Hello, We made it with the QL to W&P and back without problems, Just on the last leg of the trip there was some blow by on the exhaust system and I think it must be the manifold are the connection to the downpipe. All by all it was a super weekend and really enjoyed my trip to the show, and as cherry on the cake I revived the 1ste price for best British vehicle over 5cwt. Guy A very dusty mousetrap waiting for the return ferry at Dover.

Hello John , we leave on Wednesday morning and it is something around 100 Km drive to Dunkerque to catch are ferry and then it is only peanuts to the meeting. Guy
-
We our ready for the trip to W&P show this Wednesday! tool boxes on there place and the wooden side protections are on the side of the cargo section. Guy

If the problem was only on the Bedford QL engine way dint the other Bedford's suffer with this problem? It is not the first time that I heard of the engine problems with the K5, we need to investigate a little bit more on this problem:police:
-
Fist meeting with the QL, made a visit to the open door day's of the local ex para club. next week I still have to do some fiddling on the Bedford to make the trip to W&P show. Think the ignition will need some adjustment and the left hand toolbox need to be fitted on to the cargo floor.
-
Thanks for the pictures, now I can make a pair. Guy
-
Yes Richard you spotted are error, really stupid of us but it has to stay like that. Guy
-
Hello John you are right about the leather strap! Is it possible to send my a picture of this brass nipple so I can reproduce this bit. Normally I will fit the rub strips this week, only wait for my carpenter to machine them a bit that there is a slight slope to the outside. Guy
-
The pressing on the sides was the bugger job, not easy butt we did it! Guy
-
Yes John you are right on the leather strap, I am looking to make these. Butt is there some wane go knows the use of the leather strap, I think I know! But there is a difference on my boxes and the original ones ? ?????
-
Made the two toolboxes that hanging under the cargo floor. These little buggers are really not easy to make and had a lot of work on these two pieces. And now for the real QL aficionados, there is something wrong on my two toolboxes. Guy:nut::cool2:
-
Hello Nige. Think that for the moment the QL will stay with a open load platform, but next year I will have a tilt frame and cover. Guy
-
Today I past the technical control (MOT) :cheesy: and now I can apply for a numberplate. After the test I refitted the cabin roof headlining and the spare wheel is also back on its place. Guy
-
Hello Kevin , thanks for this nice comment, for sure it was a hell of a job but the result is so special! The windscreen frames where made of 5 very bad frames and the glass is a 6 mm safety glass cut by a local glass centre. I had the old windscreen frames from John Morter butt think that it where his last ones he had. Guy
