What size is the threaded end please. I've just bought a replica 'B' set aerial mount and the threaded hole for the aerial is 4mm. Will these screw in. Thanks Steve.

Just to add that I have polished up the welds and fine filled where necessary. Just got to paint in 298.

Thanks for that Ron. Just managed to buy a replacement one from a guy on the Dingo forum. He makes them to order. what's your thought's I think it looks pretty good

Thanks for that Ron, measurements would be most helpful. Is this type of aerial mount the same for all or do they differ in construction. Meaning do some look different in some way or another.

Cheers for that but already joined that group. 👍

Hi buddy I'll take a set of these please.

Have you got any photos of said aerial so I can see what the actual aerial looks like.

Yes mate been in touch with him. £320 each. Expensive thing owning a Dingo. My Dingo was driven in his workshop in the 90's and was started to be stripped but the turns by hand and is complete. Not sure how much of a restoration I'm going to be doing. Going to try and start her fist and if everything is ok I'll most likely give it a once over and get out and enjoy the experience.

Cheers sirhc your a star. Expensive but if its what you need you've got a pay.

Yep posted what I need on a couple of the dingo sites.

Hi Seamus, yep decided to go for it. Its all there just needs putting together. Quite a few spares included. £23k though. But when completed I guess it'll be worth it.

Hi all, Hoping the forum can be of help. I have recently bought a dingo and is almost complete apart from a few odd bits. The main item I am looking for is one of the aerial mounts to the side of the top armour. It is the aerial mount which looks to have a cage around it. Has anyone got one for sale or know of one for sale. Even a close up photo with some measurements could be of help as I may go down the route of trying to make one as its just for show. Thanks in advance Steve.

Are the 7.00 - 18 still available? If so how much would a set of 4 cost. Many thanks Steve.

Hi Hi, did try them last year but were quite expensive compared to Cherrished. That's why I went with Cherrished last year but they are taking the Mikey this year. Less vehicles but more expensive, I don't think so.

Hi all, help needed. Just got my renewal from Cherrished Insurance for 2 jeeps and my Dodge wc at £283.66. Not bad for 3 vehicles but have now sold one of the jeeps so only 2 to Insure. Cherrished have now said the Insurance for the 1 jeep and the Dodge is over £290. Any one help with a decent Insurance company who don't take the P**s. Thanks in advance Steve.

Need a bit of help. Can anyone tell me what the length of the back canvas is on a GMC Jimmy 352, or the length between the front and rear hoops . Thanks in advance. Steve.

Hi Nick, Do you know if a WW2 Bantum trailer would have been painted in 'Micky Mouse' camo or left O.D. My jeep is badged up to 11th Armoured in the 'Micky Mouse' camo so would like to make sure its correct. Cheers Steve.

Hi all, Help needed with regards to the eye Lunette on a WW2 Bantum or later jeep trailer. Some say the WW2 trailer had the straight eye lunette and others say even the cranked lunette was WW2. I am in the process of buying a WW2 Bantum trailer which has the cranked hitch on it, Which I always thought was a post war modification. I have a 'Polynorm' trailer with the short hitch but know these are post was trailers. Just need to know one way or the other. I have realized that with the cranked eye hitch the trailer sits at a more level plane with the jeep as opposed the straight eye which has the trailer front diving down to the back of the jeep. Cheers Steve.

Hi buddy and thanks for the input. I have actually bought one off a guy selling one on eBay. Cost £86 but won the listing, was delivered just over a week ago and very happy with it. Still supple enough to wear with no rips or spits. Said it came in a box full of WW2 items he had bought. Cheers Steve.

Hi all, Hope you can help me find a wearable WW2 Poncho. I am needing one for next year re-enactments. I have looked at most of the military sites, but they all seem to be selling the post war green capes, I'm after the British brownish colour poncho. Any help would be very much appreciated. Many thanks Steve.

They certainly do. Steve and Natalie Pepper and their crew go out of their way to make sure it's an experience you won't forget. We are all booked in for the 132 mile trip with a convoy of 6 WW2 vehicle's. Can't wait, last year was the best so far. Has always been a fantastic show.

Yep a few of us went and not impressed with the prices. One bloke had a 50cal mount with the skeleton of the skate and wanted £2000 for it. Obviously he would be taking that home with him. Unlike other years you could have a good barter with the sellers but most prices were firm. My mate bought a pair of ammo boots which had no laces but they had them for sale, asked if he would throw a set of laces in, he said no but you can buy a set.

Cheers for that really appreciate it. Thanks Steve.

Thanks for all your replys. As usual the forum is a wealth of information and help. All sorted now as have managed to source a replacement outer case while I ponder which way to go with the old one. Many thanks Steve.

Yer did think about that but its difficult to drill a small hole in a weld, usually the drill slips off and makes a hole to the side. No room for mistakes.
