question 24v Military CJ5 points, condenser and coil
Nick Johns replied to Skint George's topic in MV Chatter
I think the 24V equipment was fitted by the Swiss, Email a Swiss Army vehicle dealer to see if they can supply the parts https://www.pinzgauer.com/vehiclelist.php?cat=8 -

We were all called "Scammers" but the red wording across the entry form, " It is a 5 show not a 3 day or 4 day show no one will leave before 6am sunday, if you are unable to meet this criteria then DO NOT APPLY!" ... so we all complied and did not enter, another arrogant insult and another reason why so many boycotted last years show !

To calm all the irate L/R owners the pic is of course a photoshop, the original pic of the restored Lt Wt Landrover can be found online, it was copied from an RM Auction catalogue
-
Exactly, back then Landrover would have struggled to supply 60 Landrovers at short notice, let alone 600!!

I havn't seen any new Tandem Tow bars for sale for a while, the last one I bought from a Belgium dealer at W&P said he'd stopped making them as they had to be type approved to be sold as a towbar

The ww2 airfield tractor you want is the DB Tugmaster, did a quick search but nothing showing up for sale

I had one of those trailers, mine was ex royal navy used around Naval depots, dates from the 1960's?

Don't believe all you see on TV ! the Firing range is at Lulworth in Dorset where the Tanks do fire live rounds, they most certainly could Not fire a shell from a Frigate out at sea to land inland, that was pure simulation, and the final "Special Effects" explosion was probably one of the old Saracen target wrecks that are already on the range , you can be sure it was Not the Stalwart blowing up, . PS. don't think Richard Hammond died in the explosion either !

I've known several Dodges with same problem, and especially any vehicle that has been parked up for a long time like yours, its the radiator core is rusted up inside which restricts the water flow, hence why the water pressure builds up in the header tank and blows out of the overflow, I see from the pics you ran a hose through the rad but thats not sufficient to clear it, the only way to restore the radiator flow properly is to get it cleaned out by a specialist radiator repairers

And of course the famous Star Wars original Light Sabers were Graflex press camera Flash gun holders, !

If it has been imported and Nova registered there must have been a chassis number declared
-
Willys body numbers did not relate to the chassis number, the chassis number was stamped on the Willys plate on the glove box door along with the date of delivery, is there any paperwork with your MB that has the chassis number?

Highly recomend watching film "D-Day to Berlin" the story of Hollywood film director George Stevens own personal 16mm colour film that he shot whilst officially filming the last years of WW2, his group known as "the Stevens Irregulars" used Jeeps and Dodges too http://www.openculture.com/2012/11/normandy_invasion_captured_on_16_mm_kodachrome_film.html click on the film clip http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/D-Day-D-Day-To-Berlin-George-Stevens-NEW-Region-2-DVD-/291769835229?hash=item43eed65edd:g:J3UAAOSw~uhUnuMT

Its the spring that shuts the valve, if the valve is not shutting properley there is low/no compression, the engine may appear to run fine at low revs but a weak inlet valve spring will cause the valve to bounce at higher revs so its not closing entirely, hence the compression will blow back into the inlet and out of the carb
-
When you did the valves did you fit new valve springs? old valve springs are prone to losing their tension and often break, a weak inlet valve spring would cause the popping back through the carb, I don't think this could be anything to do with timing, the engine would have to be so far advanced it would be pinking even on a light throttle
-
I owned your Dodge for a while a few years ago, found it in Linconshire, it had been a bit neglected. I think we decided it was probably ex Norweigan Army, A Dodge chassis number is stamped on the vertical face of chassis just ahead of the N/S/F shock absorber, the number is also on the V5C reg doc
-
That Dodge has had so much done to it it'l be good for years to come, but its alway advisable to carry usual spare ignition parts...just in case, its usually the modern repro electrical bits that can fail

A DVLA search shows Mack FP 4626 was first civilian registered in 1947, which is when it was most likely bought from the Military by a local authority and converted/used as a snow plough

Alas a little late perhaps for an answer now... this thread you were reading re. the Fordson WOT2 was an old thread that ended 7 years ago from back in 2009 !
