You could always fit a landrover electric wiper motor

Bedfords had a vaccuum tank it helps but still not big enough for hills or constant wide throttle open.

flame thrower to keep rioters off

start on petrol then change to parafin ?

Found out a bit more. Its offical name is BLACKBOARD. Used in N.I. was remote controlled from backpack by fibre optic cable, this was not very reliable when fibre optic was damaged the vehicle went off on its own,not a good idea. 2 speeds forward 1 reverse. No info on internet that I can find, but still searching

Finished this now except for a few small details. All new brake cylinders hoses and pipework, new tyres ect. I have enjoyed working on this more than any vehicle before.

Thanks dave any photos would be very helpfull

If memory serves me right they were built by glover Webb for EOD duties in Ireland.

this one is the wheelbarrow transporter there is another variant with the Sankey RAF style workshop body fitted which carried jamming equipment,have a photo somewhere of one "in country on ops"

They were helicptered in to bandit country and I believe they replaced the bodyless Land Rover Lightweight used previously by the RAOC/RLC

Hope this helps

PS there is an article in Military Machines International but not sure of date as dont have my collection at hand but will find out,

 

Cheers Dave

Thanks that gives me another avenue to explore on the net,

SIRHC That one is a different version, but it shows the ramps that assist with loading the pallet . Thanks for the pictures

thanks Richard at least another exists

I beleive it slides right off. I think it may have had some ramps from the back of chassis to floor and rollers on rear of bed but lots of parts are missing. I would love to see another to copy missing parts or a manual or even photos.

mvt greensheet front cover, one for sale £100

Just bought this anybody know what it is and any information would be greatfully received.

It did have remote control but this has been removed, it has a twin cylinder diesel Kubota and hydraulic drive. The rear body drops off and back on again with electric winch. The front suspension is very like vw beetle with torsion bars, no suspension on rear. Handbrake is hydraulic with discs and callipers on front, no brakes on rear because when you release the drive pedal it stops instantly. Hand throttle . electric start. Should have 3 speeds but only low working at moment.

Never seen another, don't know who made it but was built in 1992

Brilliant show normally something for all the family

The caps should be able to breath when screwed on, but I would leave on for a trickle charge but remove for a fast charge.

David Crouch is a very nice bloke to deal with, Ive never felt he has given me anything but a great deal, Withams on the other hand !!!! If I cannot say anything good then I will not say anything.

I have recently bought a Bedford RL with a Mine Cab, it is in fairly good condition but the engine was seized and the usual electrics U/s and brakes not working. We removed the cab and replaced the engine with one I bought a couple of years ago which runs really nice. New brake pipes and I have brakes, but the drums will have to be removed and everything cleaned. Replacment dynamo and control box and the main lighting switch stripped and cleaned and only one bulb blown. Looks like the only job to be farmed out is trimming the seats to a local coachtrimmer £150 seems resonable.

The log book says date into service 1966 but was this built as a mine cab or conversion of an earlier GS cargo. Chassis no 6838048 RAF reg no 10AT83.

Brakes are fitted with both Air and Vaccuum for trailers.

Information and pictures of these would be gratefully received

I have just got a RAF RL but it has a Mine Cab
