    I have a Mk1 Militant and I would like to fit power steering to it. I was wondering if the power steering gear from a Mk3 could be adapted to work? Any help would be gratefully recieved

    That's what I call a proper job. Well done Rob, it's looking great
  3. Bob 110
    Well done Rob, I bet that's put a big smile on your face.
  4. Bob 110
    Just out of interest, what oils do you use in the engine and transmission Rob?

    Used the Militant to do some real work the other day. She did us proud!

    We want to move the location of the batteries on our Mk1 Militant. Can anyone recommend the size of cable we require, Many thanks Bob
  7. Bob 110
    We fully intend to keep it in its modified form, after all it has probably spent more time like it is now than it did in service. As for the air cleaners, they are staying where they are. We're moving the batteries too a locker behind the cab. That'll make space for the fridge behind the drivers seat. (It's a bigger space)!!

    We've got all that to come Rob. Ours has been modified somewhat, as well as the crane etc, the electrics have been changed, and the control box is just inside the drivers door and nothing like the original. The air cleaners have been re-sited inside the cab behind the passenger seat. Ours also has a heater fitted to the nearside with flexible air ducting running about everywhere. The plan is to restore it to good condition, but leave the modifications as they are.

    Nice work Rob, the pictures of the work you're doing on the cab are going to be invaluable when we get round to doing ours.

    Can someone please help. I need to replace the windscreen wiper arms on my Mk1 Militant. They are the parallel shaft type with a collet that locks on the shaft. Can any one tell me where I can find some reasonably priced replacements. Thanks Bob

    A pair of Militants at Tilford

    I love this Blog. There's so much information for when we rebuild ours. Thanks Rob

    Thanks for the advise on the hose Rob. I'm following this restoration with interest as we'll have to do the same to our timber tractor at some point.

    Hi Rob. Sorry to hijack your thread, but have you ever had to change the top hose on a Militant? And if so how did you do it. Bob

    Hi All. I have recently acquired an AEC Mk1 Militant. http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?7394-A-E-C-Militant-MK-1-Gallery&p=472686#post472686 It has developed a coolant leak from the top hose where it joins to the radiator. My question is do I have to remove the radiator or can it be done from under the engine cover? Thanks in advance. Bob
  21. Bob 110
    Ok Thanks Rob
  22. Bob 110
    Does your supplier do the track that fits onto the bottom of the window. Or do you know another source of them? Bob
  23. Bob 110
    Can anyone tell me the modern equivalent grade of oil to put in a Matador / Militant steering box please? Bob
  24. Bob 110
    Thanks Sean, how do I get hold of Richard Banister?
  25. Bob 110
    We need the whole headlight unit not just the lens, as ours is suffering badly from an infestation of rust.
