Hi Dave

There is a good sectional drawing on the back page of the early bedford mw parts manual, will try and scan and post it on here.

Hi Jeremy

I really appreciate it ,that would be really helpful . it's the small finishing off bits to sort now, just about getting to the "nearly" on the road test stage :cool2:

Dave

Hi

Does anyone know where I can find a diagram that shows the internals of an MW horn push and what parts are needed to make it complete. I have the horn push but the internals were missing from mine so I don't know what's missing or what parts are needed .

A photograph would be helpful if anyone has one , I could maybe get alternate parts if original ones are not available and make it good.

Thanks

Dave

I knocked this rough copy up last night and I'm considering getting maybe 10/12 made out of Billet Aluminium or depends on if there is a minimum order quantity .I'm just gauging if there is any interest before I go ahead and get the blanks made .I have the exact spec blank made from an MW holder to get them made off .

I don't know what the cost will be to get the blanks made or how many I'll have to have done as yet , see what the interest is first .

Dave

Where these blocks fitted to all MWs or just the early ones do you know? Mine's pretty original and does not have them????

Andy mines a 43 and it has the wooden blocks fitted , I've not replaced mine they are original to the truck .

Thanks for the replies , tried Jeep parts but they don't have any , rang Jeffrey Eng they had some NOS for the early Distributor , luckily that's what's on mine so grabbed 3pr while he had them .

Thanks again

Dave

Hi

Anyone know of any dealers that stock the clip from the distributor , or has anyone got a couple they would like to sell . I found some in the states but unfortunately they don't export .

Thanks

Dave

Me again , I'm after a pair of wiper arms for the MW if anyone has a spare pair for sale

Thanks

Dave

Hello

I wonder if anyone can aim in the right direction for the following parts .

I'm after the studs that hold the radiator grill and canvas screen in place, the vehicle has been in bits that long can't find the damn things :undecided:, a steering wheel nut ,also the following part as in the picture for the dynamo .It's the actual fibre/mica insulators that I need but if anyone has the whole piece they would like to sell I'll take the lot :-) .

Or is there a refurbisher of Dynamos who could possibly sell this part separate as the rest of the Dynamo is fine , also after the handbrake and gear lever boot , I'm sure I've seen someone making the repo's of these .

I've tried Chris Mortar and Norman at Bygone Bedfords but no luck .

Thanks

Dave

Sold for £18,700 (£17,000 + £1,700 premium), so with an estimate of £17,000 to £20,000 is the donkey looking forward to having dinner with you? :-)

:wow:

Well better go get the kneeling mat out

Dave,

Was able to get an exchange item from Chris Mortor, hope that resolves the problem.

 

Trevor,

Will add looking at the pedal adjustment when I come to fit the cylinder.

 

Many thanks

Andy

good stuff

Dave

Dave,

 

Mine is U/S. Had it re-sleeved but it still has the same problem, even changed the seals again !

To work the brakes I need to apply foot pressure twice, the first is to pump up the pedal then it will work (remains solid as long as pressed). It would appear that the first pump acts as a shuffle to get the rear piston (front brakes) to work ? Once released it loses pressure, all pipe work has been checked over and there is no loss of fluid. So thought the best solution is to replace, even one requiring a referb would be acceptable ?

 

 

Andy

Ah right ,did you have it done by the lads at the link above ? They did mine ,we fitted it all up with the refurbed cylinders and all seems ok , I'll find out better when I get it actually on the road and drive it in anger . The pedal on mine seems normal but I'll watch out for that .

I'm sure Mike had one .

Dave

Looking for a BEDFORD MW master cylinder?

 

Andy

Hi Andy

Is yours US ? or do you need another . Reason I ask, I sent mine away and had it resleeved with S/Steel and new piston etc ..................http://www.pastparts.co.uk/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=4

I think Mike Shackleton had one a while back that needed a refurb .

Dave

Try Norman Aish 01202 745117 very nice chap.

I'll give him a call

Thanks

Can you give us some feedback when it's all finished? I need my GPW rad doing.

Will do

At this stage now , should be on the road in the next month or so

Hartlepool radiators are recoring and renovating it for me , apprentley they have done quite a number of WWII military vehicle rads

Hi

I'm after one of the plates in the photo , has anyone got one they would like to sell ,or anyone know where I might be able to get hold of one from ? The one on the truck was had been painted over , unfortunately under the paint it was a blank "sheet" nothing visbale on it .

Thanks

Dave

Hi

Can anyone help or possibly know where I can get the small part thats circled in the photo for my Distributor ?

Thanks

Dave

Don't know if this is of interest to all you Tank lads , saw this on Evil Bay

A quick Google search comes up with York Car and Commercial Radiators in Acaster Malbis near York. According to their ad they do a vintage and classic service. tel 01904 703668.

Yorks not that far from me , thanks for that I'll give them a shout tomorrow

Thanks

Dave

There is an old radiator shop in Stoke on Trent that does all of ours if you cannot find one locally

Commander

Whats the name of the shop ? I'll give them a shout too

Thanks

Dave

Dave your local Serck Services should manage that OK.

Thanks Paul I'll give them a try

Dave

Does anyone know of a compnay that can recore/renovate an original Willys rad mine split on the top seam yesterday . I would rather have the original renovated if possable or if no one does that ,where I can get a good repo one from .

Thanks

Dave

Is it being sold as a Willys or Ford lol .just to be a rivet counter for a change lol , 12v conversion , Solex Carb , late water pump , Willys lighting switch ,the add on indicators/sidelamps under the reflectors look crap , jubilee clips on the hoses naff , white indicator switch on the dash where the lighting switch should be ,extra long valve stems ? Top Bow thumb screws and chains missing ,chains missing off screen thumb screws , never seen an ariel mount like that one ,Ford toolbox lids , Ford crossmember so obviously a Ford .

The GLOSS paint job I personally think looks rubbish ,also disapointing they never showed the bullet holes :rofl:

Its an easy job to rectify the above plus a new paint job .

What I do like about that Jeep is the early windscreen without the rifle holder mountings would look nice on my 42 Willys

If that reaches the estimate , I'll go eat grass with the donkey lol
