    I did Ian , not really the thing I am looking for, will use the axle from my first trailer so I have a almost original trailer for my QL . Guy.

    Received my wood from the supplier , think I can start to rebuild the two radio boxes for the C4's. Made some new corner re-enforcements that are situated in the 4 top corner of the box.

    the trailer sides are ready , now waiting for the chassis that is with the sandblasters.

    will be there with the QL, and if ready maybe my Morris Commercial will also make the trip .

    Sides from the last trailer have been sandblasted , ready for some primmer . Now the chassis is also with the blasters .

    Hello Ian. I can see on some of the pictures that this trailer had a bridge plate . It's a coincidence that on my resent 1 ton trailer there where markings where there where bridge plates fitted . There are holes in the front panel and right hand front panel. Guy.

    Trailer is completely stripped and of to be sandblasted . Took the home made axle from under the trailer and it was made of two front wheel hubs . These two hubs came from a military vehicle but I don't know from witch type . If interested these are surplus to me , with the two 20" wheels.

    ones the side is ready I will separate the top section from the chassis and deliver for sandblasting .

    Started to repair the bottom edge of the side plate work and removed some extra paint on the back number . It looks like the yellow and red bit on the number had a extra cote of paint on them and the number was changed . Is this modification a post-war change ??.

    I think that there is a slight difference between Bedford MW and QL carburettor but it is only around the fitting and engagement of the choke. I bought a new carb for my QL but had to use some parts from the choke system of the old QL carburettor. Guy.

    Had a good look at the trailer and as it is still so original (except the axle) I think I will rebuild this one and use the missing parts from my other project. Took the metal floor out that had been added by the previous owner.

    Division sign .
  16. guy66
    Under several layers of paint I found these inscriptions on the rear door. 96 must be REME , but division sign is not so clear . There where a lot of layers paint over each other but I can see some sky blue as a base colour.

    It was imposible to resist the temptation to collect a extra 1 ton trailer and surely for a nice price. But there are some tricky bits missing , axle have been modified with bigger wheels and the front hook and jockey wheel are missing. So if there are parts around just hive a shout. I still have a bad axle that I can repair , just missing one 13" wheel for it. Guy.

    Hello Hendrik. The second hand front windscreens came with fairly new rubbers. These screens came from John Morter , maybe you can check if he still have the rubbers in stock. Guy.

    I may have some stuff for Morris Commercial 4 cylinder engines. Bought a job lot engine bits. Guy Labbe

    As it looks you are on + 0.80 oversize with a piston of 72 mm. Standard bore on a 3HW is 70 mm , so it will be difficult to find a bigger oversize piston as 0.80 is really the maximum oversize you can find. Even if you tray to go over 72 mm the cylinder wall is getting really thin. Guy.

    Hello. Even in real scale it is not so easy to get asses to the engine, the cover in the cabin is the only bit that can be removed to reach the engine . So changing spark plugs are working on the engine is always a challenge, luckily the engine is well rebuild and don't hives match problems . Guy

    Think there is a trap in the Cabin floor to operate the pump lever , but will make some enqaries with the owner of this MWC.
  24. guy66
    That's a picture from a MWC gearbox with PTO.Will have a look as there came a double chain pinion on bearings with my Morris , not sure if this was a original part.
  25. guy66
    You are right , the same person has also a gearbox with this type of lever as on your picture .
