Hi ,they are for storing the poles for when you dont have the back canvas on .The ones that go from front to back are in two parts,and fit into the two brackets.

Thanks Sparky wondered what it was for , I've not seen them on the trucks I've looked at , and there's me thinking I had a built in picnic table :-D .

Dave

Sorry this is in the wrong place but cant seem to find how to post on the main chat forum .

Can anyone identify what the two brackets on the front bow were used for . They fold down and look as if it could have had a fold down table fitted ?

Cheers

Dave

This one is upside down

This photo is doing the rounds on Facebook, Has the Union flag been printed upside down on her shirt ?

I understood the broad white band should be at the top (like the one on the wall) next to the flag pole ?

No its correct

Dave, do you have dimensions? I have several different rubbers but none with part numbers on.

Hi Sean

E Mailed you

Dave

If you cannot get the part that you need, I have a N.O.S. distributor for a 28hp or 214. it has push in plug leads not screw in type. There are three distributors advertised by someone on ebay for parts. Regards John.

Pm'd you John

Dave

I'm also after the part circled in the picture if anyone has a spare laid around , or if anyone has a distributor that is US and would like to sell it and it has the relevant bit I'll gladly buy the whole thing .

Thanks

Dave

Hi

I know it might be asking the impossible BUT :-D , What I'm looking for is ideally 4 of the single rope cleat or 2 would do for the moment and the other item is the rubber diaphragm off the horn push .I repaired a couple of splits with puncture repair patch's but unfortunately the whole thing is now falling apart .

Thanks

Dave

I'll be up for those Jeremy :cool2:. I'm looking into getting half a dozen of the spark plug holders made out of billet aluminium from the pattern you sent over to me :-D , the one in the pic is one I had a play around with out of a piece of scrap aluminium I had laid about , the spec ones I'll be getting done will be laser cut .

Dave

I,m looking into getting the early wiring loom chart fitted to the bonnet and maybe the lubrication one too, I have a company that has done some stunning cs8 ones just gotta get of my arse and get it sorted.

Have you seen this site?

No thanks for that , I'll have a look on their site .Hopefully they might have a pattern/picture of the plate , if not I'll have to look for a decent picture they could maybe copy from

Dave

Hi Dave,

 

I would let the original one on your Bedford, it looks pretty good and more valuable.

 

Danny

Hi Danny

That's just a photo of the one I'm after , mine was beyond saving so don't have one

Dave

After another finishing off item , if anyone has a spare one they would like to sell on , or if anyone knows of any repo ones out there I'd very much appreciate it.

Thanks

Dave

Hi Davey,

 

Pipe size is 5/16.

Danny

Thanks for the info and photo Danny

Dave

This is a tyre pump from a Morris CS8 . Smiths and Sons

 

The outlet thread appears to be 3/8 BSP

Thanks for that , I would imagine they be both the same. Looking at mine I would say 3/8" on the fittings would be right once I know the pipe size I'll go to the local Plumb Center and have a rummage .

Dave

Will measure dia of pipe and take some pics of my set up tomorrow :-D

Thanks Jeremy :bow:

Dave

Yes, a service technique we have all used at some time. :-D

Nothing too technical , that's what I like to hear :-D

Bit if advice? Stick in electric! :-D Ah the joys of powering up a hill in heavy rain, as the wipers get slower and slower. So saying, dump old ones in some oil for a bit, also make sure every hose is 1 Strong enough not to collapse under vacum, 2 Absolutley sealed tight. Had these problems on my Katy when I first got her. (Don't rain in Jersey , Britian's South Sea Island)

I'll do that , leave them in some oil for a week or three , they nearly ended up halfway across the field at the back :-D

Doh just realised they may not be the same ,may have a spare one isn't shed will look tomorrow and take a pic for comparison

Never be out of your debt Jeremy .I have a 3 or 4 in the garage but as per norm not the ones needed , think a couple off a Jeep and the others ................. haven't a clue :-D

Dave

Dave,

All I can tell you off the top of my head is that they are BSP fittings and soldered ends on pipe

Thanks Richard I'll try the local plumb center ,they should have an assortment of BSP fittings on the shelf , would 8 or 10mm suffice for the pipe work ?

Thanks

Dave

The next job on the agenda is the piping up of the tyre compressor to the filter , can anyone tell me the size of and type of fittings required to connect these together ,if anyone has a photo of the pipe run that would be great .

Thanks

DXave

:banghead: One step forward and two back , all the wiper system was put back together and the wiper motors don't want to play .

I'm after two vacuum wiper motors if anyone has any ,or knows of someone that would like to sell two

Thanks

Dave

Hi Dave Here are the parts for your horn thingy

 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]119861[/ATTACH]

 

First picture shows roughly how it goes together ( sideways )

 

 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]119862[/ATTACH]

 

The spring may be a bit on the strong side and may need adjusting.

Thanks Jeremy thats a big help :tup::, I'll get down to the local engineering supply shop and get hold of some copper sheet to make the cone.

Dave

Hi Dave here is a rough diagram of how I think the horn button parts go together

 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]119688[/ATTACH]

Thanks Jeremy thats a great help , appreciate it .

I can see what I need now to make it good and how it goes together .Should be able to knock the cone up out of some thikn copper sheet and find a tapered spring of sorts.

Dave

Ok Dave will sort something you are correct about the washer that's how I did mine

Thanks Jeremy

[ATTACH=CONFIG]119065[/ATTACH]

 

Hope this is of some use Dave I may have the centre isolator and I found the nut that holds the steering wheel on the other day.

Thats a big help Jeremy , thanks . Spring , Isolator and would imagine a flat washer soldered to the wire . I can go down to the local engineering supplies and have a dig around in their spring box's , if you do have a centre isolator that would be brilliant ,as that would be the hard one to sort out .You can PM me with the cost for the nut and isolator, if you still have the jack and can find a way of sending it without it being a chew on I'll pay you for the lot :-D

Thanks again

Dave
