Does anyone have any pictures of or can give me the dimensions of, the Clansman TUAAM mounts that sit on the top of the radio rack in a CVRT Sultan please? Borrow one to copy? Or even a lead on one in a breakers yard somewhere? I am not talking about the Land Rover type rubber mounts but a frame mount of which a Sultan should have two, which probably has the standard TUAAM rubber mounts bolted to it. Many thanks

Hi PM sent - have you seen it? Thanks

Link to auction catalogue. 8" howitzer as well. http://www.clarkeandsimpson.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Cheffins-26-September-web-compressed.pdf

There is a seller on Ebay breaking several ex-military versions - "Bedford TM breaking for spares".

They look like the tripod for the Infantry Rangefinder No 11 / 12. http://www.project1944.be/Vickers/Page4/Vickers4.html

Hmm, pretty obvious that a Snatch for example is British. Seen plenty of pics of vehicles with Union flag stickers on them.

It's cold in winter. Also lots of it is mountainous - more cold!

You could always try this:

AC 103 M. Green Spark Plug sell them, either through their website or on Ebay. I would be interested in buying a few empty boxes if anyone has them.

Actually the date should be 1944!

Hi I am looking for handbrake brake pads for my Eager Beaver, if anyone can point me in the direction of a supplier, and also postwar military vehicle multi core wiring, brown vinyl wrapped? Thanks

I have two items that I would like to identify where they are used. The first is a weapon pull through, probably for a tank gun rather than an artillery gun (as it is a rope pull through rather than wooden staves). It is has 2 1/4" brush, two sisal sections of 8' either side of the brush, and a round lump of lead at the end inscribed: CM 3268 No 18 C&S 1955 The other is a voltmeter, range 15-30 volts, 1 1/2" diameter, screw fitting, part number: ZA 47562 and also MC 1959. Thanks

Curiously the registration of your 101 is almost the same as my one, just 100 or so different.

£1m over 37 years = £27000 a year, 2 rebuilds at how much? Doesn't seem all that much if you average it out, for an armoured vehicle (if my sums are correct).

I am about to get a set of LR Series steel wheels blasted and powder coated. I specifically didn't want DBG but the original Land Rover colour - LRC1 or LRC001 (BSC381-223 Middle Bronze Green). However the powder coaters are having trouble identifying a suitable colour - what can I tell them to help? Thanks

It isn't the Light Stone, certainly. However the RAL1002 could be a contender, though looking on the Net for examples there seems to be a wide variety. Time to order a sample and see how it comes out.

Hi Does anyone know what the colour code is for the yellow paint in the Salisbury Plain camouflage scheme? I don't think it is desert Limestone - too orange looking. I have pictures but for some reason they won't upload. Thanks

4.5 Mk 8 is surely the 4.5" Mk 8 Naval Gun. Wiki seems to bear me out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4.5_inch_Mark_8_naval_gun

Hello all I have been asked if I would like to purchase a 25 Pounder. It has been sitting in a field for a while so needs plenty of work. Any idea what sort of value they have - not really my thing but I can see that it needs to be rescued. It comes complete with a Limber, 1941 dated, and by all accounts a set of accessories. If anybody has any thoughts on the matter perhaps they could PM me - sellers read these pages too! Also there is a Morris 2 Pounder Portee, supposedly, though it now has a huge jib on it. What chassis identification should it have to identify it as such, and where could I find a set of drawings or good photos to aid in a restoration? Cheers!

Pictures of everything needed!

My mates, just bought it. Turns out it is a complete shed, been very badly repaired and not at all what we were led to believe...

Just out of curiosity, where did you break into the fuel system to put a jerrycan supply, and how? I want to run my Sultan on a jerrycan system as well, but having just refurbished the whole fuel line network I am reluctant to start hacking it about. Thanks

Pontoon off a floating bridge (M2?) or similar by the looks of it.

At £30 per unit I think I will keep hold of the odd one I have! Have to agree though, top class job, though the blue on the floor I suspect may not be the original finish - nice colour though. Now that you have moved it out of the garage did you find the canvas cover for the BSA 300W genset I bought from you?! Regards David

I think there was an article on G503 about someone restoring one - always thought they looked good.
