    Hello and welcome; if you really want to put your bike in to military spec then you will need some of the difficult parts to find. Surely the front forks are not easy to trace but good luck from a fellow 3hw owner. Guy

    A extra bit for the QL, finally I found the right jack for the Bedford QL. It is a shelley 4 ton type and dated 1943. And now fitted back on to its original spot, under the driver seat.

    Hi Guy, That battery box is the seldom seen larger version that was used on the Airborne REME Electrical Repair trailers. I looked for one for a year before tracking it down in UK. You can see where it was used at: http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?27455-British-WWII-REME-Lightweight-Electrical-Repair-Trailer-Restoration-Project/page14 Post #131 I know that the battery box was something special as I follow the threads on HMVF, but it will be a nice combination wit my set 19

    The Bedford is under cover for next winter! I have the right 1/2 gallon oil can to put next to the jerry can rack, will have to make the support for the oil can myself. This shod be now problem as I have plenty of pictures and measurements of the genuine part.

In this lot a gave also a 6v battery box and a leather WD tool box, next step will be to make the generator running, butt I still need the right Ampere meter for the set. Guy

    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

    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

    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
  22. guy66
    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
  23. guy66
    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.
