Got to be a happy bunny finding that, now you've got to fix it. Dunno what spec cable you've got available in Aus, but I'm using TC12 for any desiring up at Duxford as we can't get Unipren
-
As above, it is multifuel BUT seem to remember mention about adjustments needed to the engine....
-
It's a black device with 2 wires coming out of it. It is on the B bank and is attached to the end of the head nearest the fighting compartment. Think it's really tucked in to the bulkhead
-
Believe that it is not a dynamo, but an alternator. As such it does not have a magnetic core but uses primary and secondary windings. Think in this case it take a LT feed of 24v into the armature to create the spinning magnetic field and as that passes through the secondary windings that creates the high voltage output. First thing to check is whether the is a LT feed to the contacts on the armature, then to check to see if the bushes are making a good contact. Believe that the contacts on the armature can wear down leave a build up of metal swarf in the gaps between the contacts. -
Cool photo, but we really need a video......

restoration New project - Mk 1 Knocker 6x6
Caddy replied to ArtistsRifles's topic in Blogs of MV restorations
When looking for a decent freeze spray I found that Maplin sold one for testing PCB's works well. Have used it on stuck fasteners and to shrink outer bearing races for fitting. -
Wondering if the figure shown was RPM as at one point it went over 1000. Nice to hear it run, just wish I could get on with the Mk4B rebuild at Duxford
-
Unfortunately I've got no way to spray 2K system as I've not got the PPE for it. Are there any other 1k systems available that won't kill me?
-
It's a 3.9 '93 vogue hard dash by the way
-
Cheers, Contacted Jawel and they can supply the basecoat, but not in cellulose, still a single pack paint though. They have also suggested using an acrylic lacquer over the top. Any thoughts?
-
Can't use 2K paints as it'll probably kill the horses next to me. what are the water-based paints like to use, can you use them over cellulose primers?
-
Hi, Can anyone recommend a decent supplier of cellulose base paint? It's for my Range Rover Cheers Paul

I feel sorry for you - a manitou......

I bet they never answered - you never know if it'll be the Jehova's Witnesses!

restoration 02 CC 90 Daimler Ferret
Caddy replied to robin craig's topic in Blogs of MV restorations
It looks like you're measuring something on the filter housing. Either measuring the pressure or the flow rate. Have you changed the filter type and checking that it isn't restricting the flow too much? -
Was going to write a bit on HASAWA, but I really cannot be bothered - far too hypothetical to get into this sort of thing.
-
There are several threads that leave me feeling like a heroine junkie looking for my next hit - this is one of them and I'm never disappointed
-
For clarity I heard off another person - not from a statement released by DAS.
-
Baz, think you're on the right course there as it's been suggested that the aircraft collection should be moved in total down to the West end (wonder if that will include Concorde? DAS owned). The Military Vehicle Day was the biggest money earning event for the IWM, just putting it out there.
-
There is a rumour going around that the IWM are looking to demolish the Land Warfare Hall and that there will be no more running of vehicles........ pretty sad if that is the case
-
I'd love to work on a Cent again. Your Cents look in much better condition than a couple at Duxford, but they'll live again... sort of know what you mean by not being that bothered by the Cents as much as WWII tanks. Felt the same about my Range Rover until I got stuck in, now it's gotten under my skin!

VALVE STEM OIL SEALING ON METEOR MkIVB, M120 or METEORITE
Caddy replied to attleej's topic in Tracked vehicles
Speak to Jersey Aviation. M120 uses a lot of the same parts as the Mk IV Meteor. When I sorted out a gasket set for a Meteor I ended up getting Merlin gaskets. The valves, stems, etc should be the same. -
Hardly a popular thread so I'm not really bothered, quite enjoy going off at a tangent from time to time. How's the Chieftain coming along? If the steering brakes need a rebuild Past Parts can get all the seals and the pistons comparable with mineral oil. Master Cylinders are from a jag so still available.
-
That I am, but I've hardly been there this year - been difficult to find 30min to myself with a 9 month old let alone a whole day!
-
I'd like to add that I've only worked on them in a museum setting so not reflective of when they were in service, so maybe not the best way to compare them. I will say that I don't like the Russian stuff as I am completely the wrong shape for them
