  1. 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

  2. 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

  3. 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!

  4. Sand coloured Morris MRA1 on a low loader M6 northbound at Rugby yesterday morning

     

    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...

  5. Hi all.

     

    Spartan is sorted:

     

    I narrowed the fault down to crap fuel.

     

    I changed the plugs to Champion R12's and removed the ones that damage the J60. I then connected a jerry can from the fuel supply pipe and adjusted the mixture and idle - it ran like a dream.

    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

  6. 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
