  1. Martin, The pipe nuts that fit the tank and the changeover tap are 1/4" BSP (British Standard Pipe). They are confirmed in the parts list.
  2. Hi Rewdco, I will send you a PM, thanks!
  3. That could be the Morris Engines Branch, which was in Coventry, Morris took over the Hotchkiss company there after WW1 when they were makng guns, they turned over to making engines.
  4. Hi Rewdco' Interesting to see the scans from the BSA despatch records, looks like my WM20 was built/despatched, about 3 days before the bombing.
  5. Hi Mike, You can tell a QLB gun tractor chassis by seeing if it has a winch or a PTO output flange on the transfer box.
  6. The transfer box looks to be off an Austin K9 4x4 also on your advert yesterday, not a K3 or K4 regards, Richard
  7. Hi, I have just launched the latest newsletter for the Corowa Swim-In & Military Vehicle Gathering which is held at Corowa, NSW, Australia. This issue has a full round up of reports and articles relating to this year's event. There are a few other articles including details of an event to commemorate Victory in the Pacific which is a road run across Australia with MV's happening in 2025. Go to our website, www.corowaswim-in.org to view or download the KVE Newsletter. Also the Scan Me on the front page of the newsletter will open up the Entry Form for 2025 Corowa Swim-In on your phone. best regards, Richard Farrant Khaki Vehicle Enthusiasts Inc.
  8. Hi, The knock on your front wheel could be the drive joint in the swivel housing, to prove this without dismantling, remove flange on wheel hub then spin the wheel, if it still knocks then it could be a wheel bearing, if no knock I would then suspect the drive joint.
  9. That is a White Scout Car, British called it a 15cwt truck. The Prefix letter should be Z
  10. The B Series engines were overhead inlet and side exhaust valves, based on a pre-war car engine.
  11. I understand that in the vehicle show world, some owners book in to more than one event on the same date then decide which to go on at the last minute. If they pre-pay an entry fee, then this should stop that game as events suffer if people pre-book then don't turn up.
  12. 1940 Bedford wksp manual stated this is a pin, hence my previous reply about which direction to take them out.
  13. Martin, On the rear springs, the pin on the back of the spring is driven inwards to remove, and the one on the front end of the spring has to be driven outwards. They are pins, not bolts.
