Excellent!!!!

Birthday gift for a great friend.

Update from 01CC48 Texas

I would like to see a Saladin register!!! I have 04CC45 and I'm restoring 01CC48 And I'm always looking for bits!!!! I know of 5 other Saladin's over in the US, we think there are only 7 or 8 over here. Cheer's James

That is correct sorry about the Skip! If we could get them all in one spot that would be something. This Sally should be ready for you soon. Cheers!

That would be great to hook-up we are in the DFW area! It's all fun in the sun!!!! Here 's another link https://vimeo.com/97337829 that has all the vehicles together.

Also for anyone that is interested here's a link to a fun film that was made for 01CC48. We are just a group of friends that have fun with the vehicles here in Texas. https://vimeo.com/136894219

The beginning! More to follow.!

Hi Doug; Thank you for that information, it clears up some of the mystery,because the engine data plate has a 1983 service date on it. I have the records for it but they only go back to 1969 andstates it was in the 4RTR. Will post pictures and data in new thread. Thank again and for any other history you can find. Regards James

Yeah that would be nice!!!!!

Thanks for info looking now!

No info? Should have a hull number today as it's being dropped at my place so now there are going to be 2 Saladin's in the same place!!!!:wow:

I'm the one doing the work on it, Skip was helping locate one. The problem is the Ferret started popping the 30 amp relay breaker. After tracing the AUX POS wire to the front control panel I thought the problem was there, then found out if I put light switch in convoy or any position to the right the breaker would hold. So that tells me brake lights disable. Pull POS wire from brake light relay and all was good. It looks like the contacts welded together. I read that these are on ebay? Ours was in pretty bad shape can't read number anyone have a number for it? Thanks all. James

Hello all! Any chance someone would have some info on this Saladin? Thanks for your time. Regards James

Here's what I made for Saladin, should work for Ferret if you can find flex pipe that's small enough.

Thanks Iain that was good info for testing units and setting them up. Cheers James

Understand that and thanks for the info will see if they will let me join and I`ll go from there. Its a work in progress!!!!

Hello ; I'm looking for the field repair manual for the VRC-353, I have the field repair test kit but really looking for a manual, have looked up on VMARS sight but it is not down loadable. Any chance someone has a copy? as I have 3 353`s and 2 351`s that need some tuning. ~~~~Change request need base repair manual~~~~~~ Thanks all Regards James

Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Priceless!!!! OOOps sorry was to warn out after that job couldn't type or spell......:nut: I have been working between on 2 Ferret's and then the Saladin! It's been a long weekend. Everything you said about the brake system in correct and yes I have the info on O-rings I will get that up here to day. As for making the other seals I'm still waiting for info on that.

That's the brake tool for adjusting the brakes, had it make from an original one that a guy in the UK had. Thing is price-list.

Got the station back in and the Saladin on its own power.!!!!

James; Not a bad idea at all I just didn't want to make it that complicated!!!!!!

Thank you Robin! Yeah I have a 1967 SIIA LR and learned along time ago about breathers. Does make life a little easier!! Cheers
